Another year is almost over, and a lot has happened around Long COVID. While many issues remain unsolved (for example, there is still no cure for Long COVID and patients face a lot of challenges with the insurances), there have been some advancements in research, with new clinical trials and new insights on Long COVID, and some slow improvements in other legal and societal issues.
Altea informs and supports
Altea tries to support by informing and allowing the exchange about these topics. Around forty blog articles were published, covering various aspects of this syndrome: from medicine and research to legal and societal issues. The offer of Vademecum was also expanded and includes now not only strategies to cope with symptoms, but also advice on how to go back to work smoothly and deal with the health and disability insurances.
“We thank you all for your openness, strength, and support! May 2023 bring better health and joy!”
Through eleven stories, the voice was given to the patients, who openly shared their struggles as well as their positive attitude with tips and tricks to cope with this syndrome. This exchange further continued in the Community, where conversations about Long COVID are taking place in more than 80 discussions. As a side note, Altea will take the opportunity during this winter break to do some maintenance work in the Community: we will inform you in January when the exchange in the forum will be available again.
Many thanks from Altea!
None of this would have been possible without the openness of the patients in sharing their situation and helpful tips, so we would like to take this opportunity to thank them all! Our thanks also go to all those people who work trying to find suitable therapies and treatments, by doing research and treating patients, and those who deal with Long COVID from other perspectives: policy, legal, and societal. These are all important aspects that should not be neglected. Thank you for your support!
We hope that this end of the year will be as peaceful and as pain free as possible, with joyful days and a renewed strength! May 2023 bring you better health and happiness!
All the best,
Your Altea Team
