He is currently the Senior Consultant and Head of Pulmonary Medicine at Amrita Hospital in Faridabad. Before this, he worked as a senior doctor at top hospitals in Delhi NCR, including Galaxy Hospital, Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital, and Metro Hospital. He also served as an Assistant Professor at the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi.

Dr. Khanna is one of the few doctors in India who has completed super-specialty DM training in Pulmonary Medicine. He is a brilliant medical scholar who has won numerous gold medals. In 2019, he was even awarded the "Global Rising Star in Pulmonary Medicine" in France for his research on lung diseases caused by cooking smoke.

Despite his global fame and deep medical knowledge, Dr. Khanna is known for being a very friendly and caring doctor. He listens to his patients carefully, explains their lung problems in simple words, and provides the best modern treatments.

Education and Global Training

Dr. Arjun Khanna has a truly outstanding educational background. He studied medicine at the famous King George Medical College (KGMC) in Lucknow. He was a top student and won 10 Gold Medals during his MBBS for scoring the highest marks in subjects like Medicine, Surgery, Pharmacology, and Pediatrics. He was named the "Best Passing Out University Graduate."

After becoming a doctor, he wanted to specialize in chest and lung health. He completed his DM (super-specialty degree) in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi. Once again, he was awarded the University Gold Medal for coming first in his DM exams.

Dr. Khanna believes in constantly learning new ways to heal his patients. He traveled to Bangkok, Thailand, to train in Advanced Interventional Pulmonology at the famous Siriraj Hospital (Mahidol University). He also completed an Executive Management Program in Health at the University of Virginia, USA.

His strong global training allows him to treat the most difficult and complex lung problems using the latest technology.

Advanced Treatment for COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a serious lung disease. It blocks airflow and makes it hard to breathe. COPD is usually caused by smoking or breathing in dirty air.

In India, many women get COPD because they cook using wood or cow dung indoors. This is called biomass smoke exposure. Dr. Arjun Khanna is a global expert in this exact problem. His research on biomass smoke COPD won him the Global Rising Star award in France.

Dr. Khanna helps COPD patients by:

• Testing their lung strength.
• Providing the right inhalers and medicines to open the airways.
• Teaching them how to avoid smoke and pollution.
• Helping them manage severe breathing attacks safely.

With his correct treatment, patients with COPD can breathe better and enjoy their daily activities without getting tired easily.

Care for Bronchial Asthma and Allergies

Asthma is a disease that causes the airways in the lungs to swell and narrow. This causes wheezing, coughing, and tightness in the chest. Allergies to dust, pollen, or certain foods can trigger asthma attacks.

Dr. Arjun Khanna treats both mild and difficult-to-treat asthma in adults. He finds the root cause of the allergy and creates a clear action plan for the patient.

His asthma treatments include:

• Allergy testing to find hidden triggers.
• Safe and effective inhaler therapy.

• Biological Therapy for Asthma: This is a highly advanced modern treatment using special injections for patients whose asthma does not get better with normal inhalers.

Dr. Khanna ensures that his asthma patients can exercise, sleep, and live a completely normal life without fear of sudden attacks.

Treatment for Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a group of lung problems that cause scarring (fibrosis) in the lungs. When the lungs get scarred, they become stiff. This makes it very hard for the lungs to take in oxygen.

ILD is a complex disease that requires a very smart and experienced doctor. Dr. Arjun Khanna has a special interest in treating ILD. He uses high-quality CT scans and lung function tests to see the exact level of scarring.

While lung scarring cannot always be fully cured, Dr. Khanna uses advanced medicines to stop the scarring from getting worse. He monitors his patients closely to protect their lung function for as long as possible.

Help for Sleep Disorders (Sleep Apnea)

Many people do not realize that loud snoring can be a sign of a serious medical problem called Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). In this condition, a person’s breathing stops and starts many times during the night.

This leads to poor sleep, daytime tiredness, high blood pressure, and even heart problems.

Dr. Arjun Khanna is an expert in Sleep Medicine. He helps patients by:

• Conducting detailed sleep studies to track breathing at night.
• Providing CPAP or BiPAP machines to keep the airways open during sleep.
• Giving advice on weight loss and lifestyle changes to improve sleep quality.

By fixing sleep disorders, he helps his patients wake up feeling fresh, energetic, and healthy.

Critical Care and Advanced Respiratory Failure

Sometimes, a patient’s lungs become so weak or infected that they cannot breathe on their own. This is called respiratory failure. These patients need immediate, life-saving care in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Dr. Arjun Khanna is highly trained in Critical Care Medicine. He manages patients who need ventilator support or oxygen therapy. He treats severe lung infections like pneumonia and ARDS. His calm and expert decisions in the ICU have saved many lives.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Smoking Cessation

Medicine alone is sometimes not enough to heal damaged lungs. Lungs need exercise too. Dr. Khanna runs Pulmonary Rehabilitation programs. He teaches patients special breathing exercises to make their lung muscles stronger.

He also strongly focuses on Smoking Cessation. Quitting smoking is very hard, but it is the best thing a person can do for their lungs. Dr. Khanna provides counseling, support, and medicines to help patients leave the habit of smoking forever.

Research and Medical Writing

Dr. Arjun Khanna is a passionate medical researcher. He is always looking for new ways to treat respiratory diseases.

He has written more than 100 scientific articles and book chapters. He serves as the Associate Editor of an international medical journal called Frontiers in Drug Safety.

Because of his deep knowledge, he is frequently invited to teach other doctors. He has delivered more than 500 invited lectures at medical conferences around the world.
