In 2008, Professor Esam H. Alhamad established The Interstitial (ILD) and Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) Center at King Saud University Medical City. The center is made  of a multidisciplinary team for patients with pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary  hypertension. Our team comprise of highly dedicated multidisciplinary physicians (lung specialists, chest radiologists, pathologists, thoracic surgeons and rheumatologists), nurses and support staff who apply state-of-the-art, comprehensive and prompt evaluations and treatment recommendations. We are dedicated to providing continuous education and support to patients and their families on a daily basis. Simultaneously, our education sessions on pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension are constantly present for physicians and other healthcare providers to access.

Our ILD and PH center are committed to improving the lives of patients within the Kingdom and wider region by prioritizing patient care, education and research. The research we conduct is set with the aims of attaining new cutting edge discoveries and knowledge in ILD for academic and societal benefits. In addition, we are not only dedicated to a mission of the highest quality and compassion of patient care but also to provide the best training to future pulmonary physicians, medical students, nurses and respiratory therapists. Our goal is to produce a unique environment that harmoniously integrates ILD diagnosis, management and research to patient and family education, future pulmonologists and associated healthcare provider training.
