The professional holiday “Day of the Pulmonologist” is celebrated by pulmonologists on May 17. Pulmonologists are general practitioners who specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases of the respiratory system of our body.

A good pulmonologist always knows that difficulties with the lungs can be very problematic, so he always carefully examines each patient.

The lungs are our paired respiratory organ. Thanks to this organ, we breathe and live. Every day, about 10 thousand liters of air pass through our lungs, while we take an average of 20-25 thousand breaths and exhalations.

On this bright day, we join numerous congratulations addressed to pulmonologists and wish them good health, success in their medical practice, family happiness and more smiles, because when you smile at someone, the person will surely smile at you in return!

Pulmonologists, Happy Holidays!

Let's do without unnecessary phrases:

Your work is so important to everyone, - without you is the same as be without oxygen!

The Department of Pulmonology has existed at the Scientific Center of Pediatrics and Children's Surgery since 1962. This service is 58 years old. Over the years, a whole generation of doctors who have devoted themselves to the treatment of children with respiratory pathology and have contributed to the development of the pulmonary service in Kazakhstan has changed. Today, the pediatric pulmonologist is still the most demanded medical specialist. The demand for a profession is dictated by the prevalence (respiratory diseases rank first) and the variety of bronchopulmonary pathology, and the attractiveness is due to the complexity of diagnostic tasks and the possibility of their successful solution.

Medical and diagnostic work in the department's clinics is carried out at a modern level in accordance with international standards. Taking into account the powerful therapeutic and diagnostic potential of the SCPCS, the most difficult patients from all regions of Kazakhstan are hospitalized in this department. Difficult patients require cooperation with doctors of many profiles and the ability to navigate in a wide range of laboratory and instrumental examinations. The doctors of the department also conduct pedagogical work with pediatricians, general practitioners for children and pulmonologists. There is not a single region in Kazakhstan where our doctors would not conduct master classes and provide medical advice and methodological assistance. With the advent of telemedicine, the range of consultations has expanded. Today, the center's pulmonologists carry out up to 150 consultations a year.

The Department of Pulmonology is today a good school for training young specialists. For the first time this year, we become a training base for pediatric pulmonologists.
