As Delhi faces a spike in air pollution, the city's healthcare facilities are witnessing a sharp increase in respiratory cases. In particular, the Pulmonology Department at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi is seeing an influx of patients struggling with respiratory issues.
According to Dr. Karan Madan, Associate Professor of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at AIIMS, a significant number of individuals with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been reporting an intensification of their symptoms.
Dr. Madan shared that there has been a marked increase in the number of patients visiting the Outpatient Department (OPD) with worsening respiratory problems. Many patients with pre-existing conditions have found their symptoms aggravated by the current air quality levels. "We are seeing a lot more patients in the OPD now, and many are experiencing a noticeable worsening of symptoms," Dr. Madan explained. Specifically, he noted that people with asthma are experiencing more frequent and severe attacks, forcing them to seek medical attention more urgently than usual.
