Dr. Priya Sharma — Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Priya Sharma is a Consultant at Sarvodaya Hospital, Faridabad, in Delhi NCR, with more than 13 years of experience in pulmonology.

Her list is weighted toward chronic and infective lung disease. She performs bronchoscopy and airway stenting, and manages chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severe asthma, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, obstructive sleep apnea and complex pulmonary infection. Drug-resistant tuberculosis and post-tuberculosis lung disease both appear on her list, which is the pattern of a practice that sees the disease and its long-term damage.

She read MBBS, then took the DNB in TB and chest medicine at NITRD in Delhi as a gold medallist, and her DM in pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine at AIIMS. She also holds the European Diploma in Respiratory Medicine and a postgraduate diploma in hospital management.

That management diploma is worth noting alongside the clinical qualifications. It sits on a record that already includes a national board gold medal and a super-specialty degree from AIIMS, and it points to responsibility for how a service runs rather than only for the patients within it.

Her research record runs to more than 30 research papers and publications in peer-reviewed, PubMed-indexed journals, and she won the Dr. J. C. Kothari Young Scientist Award at NAPCON 2022.

She is a member of the European Respiratory Society, the Indian Chest Society and the National Academy of Medical Sciences. Alongside Sarvodaya Hospital in Sector 8, Faridabad, she has been affiliated with Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi and Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College in Karnal.
