procedures.

Achievements:Multiple
minimally invasive procedures and surgeries were conducted under MU-II, such as
pleural fluid aspiration and pleural tissue biopsy, tube thoracostomy and FNAC
from lymph nodes.
The unit

Last year,
more than 150 fibre optic bronchoscopies were performed under MU-II.
Few TBNA

Future:Medicine unit-II is devoted to providing
evidence based pulmonary care and policy implementation in the coming years. Development
