Dr. Sushmita Roy Chowdhury is a senior Indian pulmonologist based in Kolkata, widely recognised for her breadth of clinical practice across airway diseases, interstitial lung disease (ILD), critical-care respiratory medicine and interventional pulmonology. She serves as the Director of Pulmonology at Fortis Hospital, Anandapur, where her official profile describes “nearly a quarter-century” of experience as a physician and lists areas of expertise that span asthma, COPD, ILD, respiratory failure and interventional procedures.

To align her practice with global standards, she obtained the European Diploma in Adult Respiratory Medicine (HERMES) in 2011 at Amsterdam, a pan-European certification that benchmarks proficiency in adult respiratory medicine. She was later conferred FRCP (Edinburgh) in July 2022, reflecting peer recognition of sustained contribution to the field.Her profile on Fortis highlights advanced procedural capability under the umbrella of interventional pulmonology, indicating competency with diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy and allied minimally invasive airway interventions. Public listings further corroborate a practice that extends beyond routine outpatient care and into critical-care respiratory support, where ventilatory management and multidisciplinary ICU coordination are essential.
