Pulmonology
Lungs, bronchi and pleura: from asthma and COPD to sleep apnoea — diagnostics, conservative treatment and a recovery programme.
About the specialty
Breathing as a measure of condition
Pulmonology concerns the lungs, bronchi, pleura and mediastinum. Its remit also includes maintaining respiratory function — from selecting therapy to mechanical ventilation.
The partner clinic has a dedicated pulmonology department for conservative treatment of the respiratory organs with modern drugs and methods of restoring respiratory function.
A separate rehabilitation department provides restorative therapy after medical or surgical treatment — with a gradual return to activity.

Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How much does treatment cost in Switzerland?
The cost depends on the diagnosis, the scope of investigations and the programme chosen. We request an estimate from the clinic and pass it to you before treatment starts — with a clear note of what it includes.
Can I get a professor’s opinion without travelling to Switzerland?
Yes. We arrange a review of your documents and a second opinion from a specialist professor — before the trip is planned.
How long does it take to organise the trip?
Usually 5–10 working days — depending on urgency and whether a visa is needed.
Do I need to speak a foreign language?
No. A medical interpreter accompanies you at appointments and stays in touch throughout your stay in Switzerland.
Why CorSwiss rather than going to the clinic directly?
We are your independent representative and full-cycle medical concierge. We match the best specialist for your case across Switzerland, not inside one clinic, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent estimate before treatment starts. From there everything is in one pair of hands: a medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation — including for companions, a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant for any practical question. Your personal medical manager stays with the case from the first enquiry until you return home — and remains in touch afterwards: we follow results remotely and coordinate follow-up.
