What is Respiratory Medicine?
Respiratory medicine encompasses a wide range of diverse conditions that affect the airways and lungs, from common conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to more complex conditions like interstitial lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer. Singapore’s environmental factors, including haze and high urban density, create unique challenges for respiratory health.
Dr Harish’s approach to respiratory medicine starts with a thorough evaluation, leading to personalised treatment plans. As a lung specialist and thoracic surgeon, he knows that no two respiratory conditions are the same. Good pulmonary care requires attention to each patient’s circumstances. The key to successful treatment is comprehensive assessment and individualised care strategies.

Using advanced diagnostic tools and treatment modalities, Neumark ensures every patient gets the best personalised treatment plan for their condition. Neumark is the go-to choice for those seeking expert care for their lung health in Singapore or the Southeast Asian region.
Diagnostic Capabilities
At Neumark Lung & Chest Surgery Centre, advanced diagnostic technologies effectively assess lung function and diagnose respiratory conditions. Dr Harish utilises sophisticated tools, including advanced pulmonary function testing to measure breathing capacity and efficiency, high-resolution CT imaging to visualise lung tissue, bronchoscopy to examine the airways, and minimally invasive biopsy techniques. This multidisciplinary lung specialist team provides comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services for various pulmonary conditions.
These diagnostic capabilities allow Dr Harish to assess various respiratory concerns, from chronic coughs associated with lung cancer to suspicious nodules detected on routine imaging.
Specialised Thoracic Surgical Expertise
Dr Harish’s practice includes a wide range of procedures, from minimally invasive robotically-assisted thoracic surgery to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) to complex resections for lung cancer. His commitment to preserving lung function wherever possible sets Dr Mithiran’s surgical approach apart. “It’s not just about addressing the immediate problem”, he says, “but maintaining optimal respiratory capacity for the patient’s long-term quality of life.” This philosophy has earned him a reputation as a thoughtful and progressive lung specialist in Singapore’s medical community.
Holistic Management of Respiratory Conditions
Beyond surgery, Dr Harish manages acute and chronic respiratory conditions. Patients with asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, and other ongoing pulmonary conditions benefit from his integrated approach to care, which often combines medical therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation and lifestyle modifications.
For patients with complex conditions like pulmonary hypertension or interstitial lung disease, Dr Harish coordinates multidisciplinary care with other practitioners, working with cardiologists, rheumatologists and other specialists to manage these conditions. This coordinated approach helps patients receive holistic care rather than a fragmented treatment plan.
Preventive Care in Respiratory Health
Preventive care is key to optimal lung health. Neumark offers various preventive measures, including comprehensive lung function tests to detect respiratory conditions early. Neumark also provides guidance on healthy lifestyle choices, like assistance in smoking cessation and reducing exposure to environmental pollutants to lower the risk of lung diseases. By being proactive, patients can reduce their chances of getting respiratory illnesses and keep their lungs healthy and functional. Preventative care today is a step towards long-term respiratory health for your future.
Addressing Singapore’s Lung Cancer Challenge
Lung cancer is one of Singapore’s most prominent health risks, and Dr Harish has dedicated significant time to its prevention, early detection and treatment. Early intervention makes a huge difference, so he stresses the importance of screening for high-risk individuals and prompt evaluation of symptoms.
For patients with lung cancer, Dr Harish offers access to the latest treatment options, including minimally invasive surgery, targeted therapies, and integration with oncological care. “The landscape of lung cancer treatment has changed dramatically in the last few years”, he says. “Patients today have more effective and less invasive options than ever”.
Patient-Centred Approach to Respiratory Care
“Respiratory health is key to quality of life”, Dr. Mithiran says. “When patients understand their condition and are involved in treatment decisions, they get better outcomes and more peace of mind”.
This philosophy extends to his practice at Neumark Lung & Chest Surgery Centre, where staff are trained to provide supportive and compassionate care from the first appointment to every follow-up visit.
Dr Harish understands the anxiety that comes with respiratory symptoms and takes the time to explain conditions, treatment options and expected outcomes, setting him apart as a lung specialist in Singapore.
