ARCS Foundation is a not-for-profit Health & Research organization dedicated to advancing awareness, education, and clinical excellence in Allergy, Respiratory Medicine, Critical Care, and Sleep Disorders (ARCS). Our mission is to bridge the gap between evidence-based medicine and everyday clinical practice, with a strong focus on early diagnosis, timely intervention, and improved patient outcomes at the grassroots level. As part of its evolving vision, ARCS also seeks to expand its focus toward vascular health, early awareness and identification of lung disorders, and the growing impact of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders as integral contributors to respiratory and critical care outcomes.

​

Founded by highly accomplished pulmonologist and critical care specialist Dr. Rahul Sharma, ARCS serves as a collaborative platform for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals committed to addressing the growing burden of chronic respiratory and sleep-related illnesses. Through structured academic programs, hands-on skill development, and knowledge dissemination, ARCS aims to strengthen real-world clinical decision-making across India.
