Dr. Lu Gen ’s Three Key Areas of Expertise

Three areas of focused expertise, each supported by a deep subspecialty team, high case volumes and an English-speaking care pathway coordinated by Orisene.

Complex pediatric respiratory disease

He diagnoses and treats difficult respiratory conditions in children, including pulmonary haemorrhage, interstitial lung disease and respiratory disease associated with immune deficiency, using imaging, bronchoscopy and multidisciplinary assessment to reach an accurate diagnosis and guide effective long-term treatment and careful follow-up. 2、

Pediatric bronchoscopy and intervention

He performs diagnostic and interventional bronchoscopy in children, including bronchoalveolar lavage, foreign body removal and endoscopic treatment of airway lesions, using minimally invasive techniques to investigate and relieve respiratory problems in infants and older children with complex airway disease and difficult respiratory symptoms.

Childhood asthma and allergy

He manages asthma and allergic respiratory disease in children through inhaled therapy, allergen assessment and structured education, helping families control symptoms, reduce exacerbations and maintain normal activity and healthy lung development over the long term and reduce the risk of serious asthma attacks. 4、

  • Clinical Practice & Publications

Selected cases, research & publications

Representative work drawn from documented clinical treatments, publicly indexed literature, and hospital project records, reflecting the depth of this physician's hands-on expertise and academic rigor.
1. ECMO for Immunocompetent Children with Severe Adenovirus Pneumonia
This study reported the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in previously healthy children with severe adenovirus pneumonia and refractory respiratory failure, describing clinical features, management and outcomes. It helps clinicians recognise children who may benefit from ECMO when conventional mechanical ventilation fails in severe viral pneumonia.
2. Research on Severe Pneumonia and Respiratory Viruses in Children
This researcher profile gathers publications on paediatric respiratory infection, including severe adenovirus pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, with studies on mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and bronchoscopic intervention, supporting evidence-based treatment of critically ill children with refractory pneumonia.
3. Chronic Cough and Recurrent Wheeze in Children
This clinical consultation answers parents’ questions about persistent cough, wheezing and recurrent respiratory infection in children, explaining how doctors distinguish asthma, respiratory syncytial virus infection and protracted bacterial bronchitis, and when bronchoscopy or further allergy assessment is needed to guide treatment and reduce repeated illness.
4. Specialist Care for Severe Respiratory Infection in Children
An expert profile of a senior paediatric respiratory physician whose practice covers severe pneumonia, bronchitis, respiratory syncytial virus infection, infection in immunocompromised children, chronic cough, tuberculosis infection and protracted bacterial bronchitis, and who performs bronchoscopic procedures for diagnosis and treatment in children.
5. Academic Profile and Professional Activities
This conference speaker profile documents the clinical focus and academic activities of a paediatric respiratory specialist, including work on severe pneumonia, viral respiratory infection and bronchoscopic intervention for children, and involvement in national and provincial respiratory and allergy committees that shape paediatric respiratory care.
6. Department and Consultation Guide for Paediatric Respiratory Disease
A hospital guide describing the respiratory department and the range of conditions treated, including bronchiolitis, pneumonia, asthma, chronic cough and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. It helps parents understand when to seek specialist respiratory assessment for children with persistent or recurrent breathing problems.

  • WHY INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS CHOOSE CHINA

Why patients travel to China for treatment

Six reasons international patients now put China on their shortlist — from internationally aligned clinical capability to the policy channels that make treatment here genuinely reachable.

Clinical capability at international standard

Chinese hospitals deliver internationally aligned protocols, performing vast volumes of advanced robotic, minimally invasive, and complex transplant surgeries annually. This massive clinical data and highly specialized workforce ensure world-class outcomes, even for rare and complex cases.

Diagnostics and treatment in days, not months

A full medical workup that typically means months of waiting elsewhere is completed in China within 48–72 hours. Imaging, labs, and multidisciplinary consultations are integrated into a single visit, allowing treatment to commence immediately.

Transparent, itemised pricing

Chinese healthcare offers legally binding, itemised cost estimates before treatment begins, eliminating hidden fees or surprise billing. Due to national centralized procurement, total expenses remain 40–70% lower than comparable care in Western Europe or North America.

Policy channels that open the door

China facilitates access through 240-hour visa-free transit and dedicated medical visa routes. Policies like the Greater Bay Area drug pathway and Boao Lecheng’s pilot zone allow designated hospitals to administer innovative therapies not yet globally approved.
