Dr. V Pratibh Prasad — Consultant Clinical and Interventional Pulmonologist in Hyderabad

Dr. V Pratibh Prasad is a Consultant Clinical and Interventional Pulmonologist at Yashoda Hospitals, Hi-Tech City, in Hyderabad, with more than 10 years of experience. His profile records pulmonology together with interventional pulmonology and paediatric pulmonology.

His list covers bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, transbronchial needle aspiration and airway stenting alongside severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, obstructive sleep apnea, complex pulmonary infection and drug-resistant tuberculosis.

He read MBBS at SVS Medical College in Mahabubnagar and took the DNB in pulmonary medicine at P. D. Hinduja National Hospital and Medical Research Centre in Mumbai. He then passed the specialty certificate examination in respiratory medicine of the Royal College of Physicians in the UK, and took his fellowship in interventional pulmonology at Yashoda Hospitals, the hospital where he now practises.

That sequence, a national board qualification in Mumbai, a UK examination and then an interventional fellowship at his current hospital, is what puts bronchoscopy and airway stenting on a list that also includes the paediatric side of the specialty.

He won the Prof. Dr. S. N. Gaur's Young Scientist Award in 2021, presented at NAPCON in Varanasi, and held an ERS silver sponsorship at the European Respiratory Society Congress in London in 2016.
