Dr. Manisha Mendiratta — Director & Head of Pulmonology in Delhi NCR

Dr. Manisha Mendiratta is Director and Head of Pulmonology at Sarvodaya Hospital, Faridabad, in Delhi NCR, with more than 23 years of experience. Her profile records pulmonology together with interventional pulmonology, sleep medicine, and tuberculosis and respiratory diseases.

Her list follows those four headings. The interventional work is bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, transbronchial needle aspiration and airway stenting. The medical work covers severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension and complex pulmonary infection. The tuberculosis work covers the drug-resistant form and the lung disease that follows it, and the sleep work obstructive sleep apnea, polysomnography and CPAP titration.

She read MBBS at Government Medical College, Patiala, between June 1998 and December 2002, and took her MD in tuberculosis and respiratory diseases at the same college under Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot, from May 2005 to May 2008. A postgraduate degree named for tuberculosis rather than for pulmonology is what places the disease as a subspecialty on her profile rather than as one item on a list.

Her hospital record runs through several Delhi institutions. She has previously been at Max Hospital in Shalimar Bagh, at Saroj Hospital, at MAH, and at the Patel Chest Institute, before her current directorship at Sarvodaya Hospital in Sector 8, Faridabad.

She is a member of the Indian Chest Society and of the European Respiratory Society.
