Patients in British Columbia are raising concerns about funding changes affecting a long COVID clinic, effective November 1. According to reporting by the Victoria Times Colonist, the changes are expected to reduce access to specialty support and increase waiting times between appointments at the clinic. Patients say the adjustments could leave people with long COVID with fewer options for specialized care at a time when many continue to struggle with ongoing symptoms.
Why now: Funding cuts taking effect November 1 are expected to reduce access to long COVID specialty care, prompting worry among patients.
