Kauvery Hospital, one of South India’s leading multispecialty healthcare providers, proudly announces the launch of its “Kauvery Breath Check – Mobile Lung Clinic”, an innovative initiative designed for early detection, prevention, and treatment of chronic lung diseases. The initiative, launched in association with the Rotaract Club of Madras North and Bay Forge Pvt Ltd, will take advanced lung screening facilities directly to communities across Chennai and neighbouring districts. The specially designed mobile clinic will travel across Chennai and surrounding districts, bringing advanced lung screening facilities closer to communities. Over the next few weeks, it will cover nearly 20 neighbourhoods including Porur, Poonamalle, Perambur, Chengalpattu, Kanchipuram, Thiruvallur, Arakkonam, Vellore, Karaikal, Pondicherry, West Mambalam, Arumbakkam, Kodambakkam, Vadapalani, Koyambedu, Valasaravakkam, and Virugambakkam. The initiative is expected to reach more than 35,000+ families by the end of September 2025. Respiratory diseases are among the top three causes of death worldwide, yet most can be effectively managed with timely diagnosis and treatment. In India, delayed detection continues to be a major challenge. With seasonal changes, fluctuating air quality, and increasing exposure to pollution, the launch of this mobile clinic represents a critical step in bridging the gap between communities and preventive healthcare. “Respiratory diseases like Asthma, COPD, and interstitial lung disease often go undiagnosed until they become severe. Early detection saves lives, improves quality of life, and reduces the economic burden on families,” said Dr. Selvi C, Senior Consultant Pulmonologist, Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani. The Kauvery Breath Check – Free Mobile Lung Clinic will focus on the early identification and management of conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, Lung Failure, Interstitial Lung Disease, and post-COVID complications. High-risk groups, including smokers and individuals exposed to dust, pollution, or biomass fuel, will particularly benefit from these screenings. Subtle symptoms like unexplained breathlessness, persistent cough, or reduced lung capacity will be carefully evaluated to ensure timely intervention. The services offered include pulmonary function tests, oxygen saturation checks, direct consultations with senior pulmonologists, and counselling on smoking cessation and lifestyle modifications. By combining these services, the clinic aims to provide a comprehensive approach to respiratory health right at people’s doorsteps. “At Kauvery, our mission is to make quality healthcare accessible for everyone. The Kauvery Breath Check - Mobile Lung Clinic is a step forward in reducing preventable deaths due to chronic lung diseases,” said Dr Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-founder and Executive Director of Kauvery Group of Hospitals. Actor Thambi Ramaiah, who was the Chief Guest at the launch, added, “I’m happy to see Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani taking such a thoughtful step. This is not just about treating illness, it’s about keeping families healthy and reassured.” This initiative reinforces Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani’s commitment to community health and preventive medicine. Localities, organisations, and community groups interested in hosting the Kauvery Breath Check – Free Mobile Lung Clinic can call 044 4000 6000 to arrange a visit, ensuring that quality care reaches those who need it most.
