Kauvery Hospital Launches “Kauvery Breath Check” Mobile Lung Clinic

Chennai: Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani has launched the “Kauvery Breath Check – Free Mobile Lung Clinic,” an innovative initiative designed for early detection, prevention, and treatment of chronic lung diseases. The mobile clinic will travel across Chennai and surrounding districts, bringing advanced lung screening facilities closer to communities.

Bridging the Gap in Preventive Healthcare

Respiratory diseases are among the top three causes of death worldwide, yet most can be effectively managed with timely diagnosis and treatment. In India, delayed detection continues to be a major challenge. The mobile clinic aims to bridge this gap by providing early detection and management of conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, Lung Failure, Interstitial Lung Disease, and post-COVID complications.

Comprehensive Services

The Kauvery Breath Check – Free Mobile Lung Clinic will offer pulmonary function tests, oxygen saturation checks, direct consultations with senior pulmonologists, and counseling on smoking cessation and lifestyle modifications. By combining these services, the clinic aims to provide a comprehensive approach to respiratory health right at people’s doorsteps.

Reaching Out to High-Risk Groups

High-risk groups, including smokers and individuals exposed to dust, pollution, or biomass fuel, will particularly benefit from these screenings. Subtle symptoms like unexplained breathlessness, persistent cough, or reduced lung capacity will be carefully evaluated to ensure timely intervention.

A Step Forward in Community Health

According to Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-founder and Executive Director of Kauvery Group of Hospitals, “The Kauvery Breath Check – Mobile Lung Clinic is a step forward in reducing preventable deaths due to chronic lung diseases.” Actor Thambi Ramaiah, who was the Chief Guest at the launch, added, “This is not just about treating illness, it’s about keeping families healthy and reassured.”

Community Outreach

The initiative is expected to reach more than 35,000 families by the end of September 2025. Localities, organizations, and community groups interested in hosting the Kauvery Breath Check – Free Mobile Lung Clinic can call 044 4000 6000 to arrange a visit, ensuring that quality care reaches those who need it most.
