Dr. Amit Kumar — Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Amit Kumar is a Consultant at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, in Delhi NCR, with more than 7 years of experience. His profile records pulmonology together with sleep medicine.

His list covers diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy, airway stenting and medical pleural procedures, alongside chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severe asthma, interstitial lung disease, complex pulmonary infection, drug-resistant tuberculosis and post-tuberculosis lung disease. The sleep work covers obstructive sleep apnea evaluation and CPAP titration.

He read MBBS at KMC Mangalore, Manipal University, and took the DNB in respiratory medicine at the Rajan Babu Institute for Pulmonary Medicine and Tuberculosis in Delhi. His critical care qualification, the DRNB, was taken at Fortis Escorts Hospital in Faridabad, a hospital he remains affiliated with.

A respiratory national board qualification followed by a second one in critical care is the training behind a list that includes both outpatient chronic disease and the procedures used on acutely unwell patients. He has also completed certified workshops in bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy, critical care ultrasonography, lung ultrasound and sleep medicine, which between them cover each strand of that list: the airway work, the pleural work, the bedside imaging and the sleep studies.

Training at a dedicated tuberculosis and pulmonary medicine institute is reflected in a list that carries both drug-resistant tuberculosis and the lung disease left behind after it.

He is a member of the American College of Chest Physicians and the Chest Council of India, and is registered with the Delhi Medical Council and the Medical Council of India. He practises at Fortis Hospital in Shalimar Bagh.
