Sagar Watch News, January 6, 2026: A new and important health facility has been launched at Bundelkhand Medical College (BMC), Sagar, providing relief to patients in the division. Now, patients suffering from lung-related diseases will not have to visit private centers or big cities for advanced tests.
On Monday, the Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) and Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) facilities were formally inaugurated by Dean Dr. P. S. Thakur and Superintendent Dr. Rajesh Jain. The facility has been started jointly by the Physiology and Respiratory Departments of BMC.
This service will be available from Monday to Saturday, between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, at OPD Room No. 12, informed Dean Dr. Thakur.
According to Media In-charge Dr. Saurabh Jain, these tests will help in accurate diagnosis of diseases such as asthma, shortness of breath, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and other serious breathing-related infections.
Sagar Watch Explainer:
Pulmonary Function Test (PFT): A test that checks how well the lungs are working and how easily a person can breathe.
Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT): A modern test that measures the condition of airways inside the lungs using gentle air vibrations.
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): A long-term lung disease that causes difficulty in breathing.
Pulmonary Fibrosis: A condition in which the lungs become hard and stiff, making breathing difficult.
This new facility will act as a lifesaving support for patients and is also very useful for postgraduate medical students, as it will provide practical training and help in research related to lung diseases
