Dutch patients with post-infectious illness demand proper care
Original: Ze vragen gewoon om niet vergeten te worden, hoop op een toekomst in plaats van leven als een machteloos kasplantje. Er
Patients with post-acute infectious disease (PAIS), such as long COVID, are asking not to be forgotten and are calling for hope of a future instead of living helplessly. Advocates say full-scale, coordinated care is needed for these patients, arguing the healthcare sector cannot solve the problem on its own without direction and funding from government. The appeal highlights ongoing frustration over limited recognition and treatment options for post-infectious conditions.
Why now: Ongoing lack of coordinated government-backed care for PAIS and long COVID patients keeps the issue in public debate.
