The aim of Respiratory Therapy is to reduce disability and handicap in
people with lung disease and to improve their quality of life while
diminishing the health care burden. The fundamental principles of
rehabilitation are widely accepted and practiced unquestioningly in
other medical disciplines, yet a recent survey has shown that
provision of respiratory therapy services in the India for one of the
most common causes of disability is very poor. In other countries,
particularly North America, respiratory therapy has always had a
more prominent role in the care of patients with chronic lung disease.
