Hospital Clínica Benidorm renews and expands the Pneumology Service, which will be headed by the Dr Dick Pasker, a specialist in Dutch and multilingual Pulmonology who joins our own staff and will provide service to most of the HCB external centers.
The expansion of the Pulmonology Service responds to the high demand for this specialty in recent years and, especially, since the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic. The service offers care and treatment for respiratory pathologies typical of the specialty and also delves into post-Covid pathology.
Specifically, Dr. Pasker's fields of greatest interest and experience are pulmonary oncology, obstructive lung diseases (ASMA / COPD), and sleep apnea.
Hospital Clínica Benidorm is committed to an international specialist who has developed his professional career in different European countries, including Spain, which allows him to master several languages and know both local and foreign patients very well.
In addition, Dr. Dick Pasker, who will be in charge of the Service, will continue to have Dr. David Orts, specialist in Pulmonology at HCB Benidorm, and will provide service in the main external medical centers of the HCB network, as well as in the new HCB Denia hospital.
