Why Consult Dr Prakash Sinha

Pulmonary critical care is a particular kind of specialty, patients in respiratory failure, with ARDS, severe pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, or chest trauma needing ventilatory support, depend on a specialist whose practice spans both the chronic outpatient management of lungs and the intensive care end of respiratory medicine.

Dr Sinha's dual MD foundation in Pulmonary Medicine with TB and Tropical Medicine, combined with 25 years of practice across acute and critical respiratory presentations, has shaped a clinical scope that runs from inhaler counselling for an asthmatic teenager through to ventilator management for an ARDS patient.

His role in establishing super-specialty pulmonology centres reflects sustained engagement with system-building rather than purely clinical practice — and this combined experience is now offered through the pulmonology programme at Paras HMRI Hospital, Indrapuri, Patna.
