Dr. Rashmi Sama

Dr Rashmi Sama is a Consultant Pulmonologist at SAMA Hospital, New Delhi, with advanced training in pulmonary, critical-care and internal medicine. She completed her medical degree at Kasturba Medical College and subsequently trained in the United States, including American Board pathways in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine and Critical Care Medicine.

Her practice covers asthma, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis, emphysema and other chest infections, alongside evaluation of patients with persistent cough, breathlessness or other respiratory symptoms. Assessment may involve pulmonary-function testing, chest imaging, microbiological studies and additional investigations selected according to the clinical presentation.

Dr Sama also works in Chest Medicine at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, where her current specialist profile confirms her continuing clinical practice and her SAMA Hospital consultation location. Her background in pulmonary and critical care medicine is relevant to patients whose respiratory disease overlaps with complex medical illness or requires closer monitoring.

For chronic airway disease, treatment planning considers symptom pattern, exacerbation history, inhaler use, environmental or smoking exposure and objective lung-function results. Suspected infection, tuberculosis or unexplained abnormalities on imaging require a different diagnostic pathway, with treatment determined only after the underlying cause is established.

International patients can prepare recent chest X-rays or CT scans, pulmonary-function tests, microbiology or laboratory results, discharge summaries and a current medication or inhaler list. India Medical Help can assist with submitting available records and coordinating an enquiry with SAMA Hospital; the treating pulmonology team determines diagnosis, additional investigations and the final management plan.
