Dr. Tapaswi Krishna Kattragada — Consultant Transplant Pulmonologist in Hyderabad

Dr. Tapaswi Krishna Kattragada is a Consultant Transplant Pulmonologist at Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda, in Hyderabad, with more than 19 years of experience. His profile records pulmonology together with lung transplant work.

His list reflects that title. Alongside bronchoscopy and airway stenting he manages interstitial lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension, severe asthma, bronchiectasis, complex pulmonary infection and post-tuberculosis lung disease, and he is part of lung transplantation care. Interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension are two of the conditions that bring patients to transplant assessment, and both sit on the same list.

He read MBBS at Kasturba Medical College in Mangalore between 1999 and 2005 and took his MD at Narayana Medical College in Nellore from 2007 to 2010. His critical care fellowship, the FICCM, was taken at Apollo Hospitals, and his postgraduate certificate in lung transplant under the EHEA framework at the Medical University of Vienna.

A transplant certificate taken at the Medical University of Vienna, added to a critical care fellowship, is the combination behind a consultant post defined by transplantation rather than by general respiratory medicine.

His hospital record spans both states in which he trained and practises. Alongside Yashoda Hospitals at Somajiguda he has been affiliated with Fortis Hospitals and Kamineni Hospitals at King Koti in Hyderabad, with Narayana Medical College in Nellore where he took his MD, and with Apollo Hospitals where he took his fellowship.
