Dr. Pravin Taware — Consultant Pulmonologist in Mumbai

Dr. Pravin Taware is a Consultant Pulmonologist at Gleneagles Hospital in Mumbai, with more than 9 years of experience. His profile records pulmonology together with interventional pulmonology and sleep medicine.

His list is unusually procedural. Alongside flexible bronchoscopy he performs rigid bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, transbronchial needle aspiration, medical thoracoscopy and airway stenting. The medical work covers severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, complex pulmonary infection, drug-resistant tuberculosis and post-tuberculosis lung disease, and the sleep work obstructive sleep apnea, polysomnography and CPAP titration.

He read MBBS at Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital in Sion, Mumbai, and took his MD in respiratory medicine at KEM Hospital in the same city. His fellowship in interventional pulmonology, recorded as the EDRM, was taken at Coimbatore.

The fourth qualification on his record is the unusual one. His diploma in pediatric sleep medicine was taken at the Shishuka Institute in Bangalore in collaboration with the University of Colorado. Sleep medicine in children is a separate field from the adult form, and holding a diploma in it alongside an interventional fellowship gives his practice two distinct specialist strands rather than one.

His memberships follow the procedural side: the Indian Association for Bronchology, the World Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology, the Chest Council of India and the European Respiratory Society. Two bronchology bodies, one national and one worldwide, sit behind the rigid bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy on his list. He practises at Gleneagles Hospital in Parel, Mumbai.
