Dr. Kapil Iyer — Transplant Consultant and Pulmonologist in Mumbai

Dr. Kapil Iyer is a Transplant Consultant and Pulmonologist at Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, in Mumbai, with more than 16 years of experience in pulmonology.

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

His qualifications are the longest part of his record and were examined in three countries. After MBBS he took an MD in pulmonary medicine and the DNB in the same subject, so his specialist training was examined twice in India, and he holds MNAMS as a Member of the National Academy of Medical Sciences. The MRCP followed from the Royal College of Physicians in the United Kingdom and the FCCP from the American College of Chest Physicians.

Two further qualifications cover the sleep side of his practice: the FAPSR, a fellowship in advanced pulmonary and sleep medicine and respiratory care, and the DSMRE, a diploma in sleep medicine and respiratory education. Sleep medicine being examined separately, twice, sits behind the obstructive sleep apnea evaluation and CPAP work on his list rather than leaving it as an extension of general respiratory practice.

Eight postgraduate qualifications across Indian, UK and American systems, on a consultant post defined by transplantation, describe a physician whose training was tested repeatedly before he took the role. He practises at Apollo Hospitals in Navi Mumbai.
