On a global scale, respiratory diseases account for a considerable proportion of overall morbidity and mortality. It is currently estimated that 250 million people worldwide suffer from COPD, and an equal number from asthma, with the latter constituting the most common chronic illness of childhood. Every year the tubercle bacillus infects up to 100 million people, 8 million of whom develop active tuberculosis. Globally there is a 3% annual increase in tuberculosis.

Pulmonologists are also responsible for intensive care of patients with acute respiratory disease.

Chest medicine outpatient clinics plays an important role in the ambulatory care and outpatient investigation (e.g. bronchoscopy and physiology) of patients with lung diseases such as asthma and COPD and they also evaluate the need for elective admission for investigation of disease.
