Post-COVID-19 recovery
If you’ve had COVID-19 and are still experiencing long-term effects (long COVID), you may need specialised care. Our expert GPs, neurologists and cardiologists work together to select the best tests and treatments for you.
Endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (EBUS)
During this minimally invasive procedure, we insert a thin tube (bronchoscope) into your mouth and down your windpipe. This tube has a tiny camera that shows us detailed, real-time images of your lungs. This test allows us to evaluate lung cancer, infections and inflammatory conditions. We can also take a small tissue sample for examination (biopsy). EBUS doesn’t require any incisions, and you can typically return home the same day as your procedure.
