PD 14 - Long-COVID: The Aftershock of the Pandemic

While all the world focused on vaccinations, infection rates and intensive care use, the real big wave is still coming: Long-COVID. The patients that succeeded to survive COVID-19 but are still confronted with long term consequences. How do we address the topic in general, specifically with such diverse patient symptoms and needs? How do we standardize treatments with a rather limited diagnostic back bone? How to coordinate a systematic diagnosis of these patients across the world to supply fast adequate advice and support? What novel and advanced therapies could help to regenerate these patients and help them to return fast to as much regular live as possible? How can we prevent or treat infections in high-risk patient groups and thus preempt Long-COVID?

We will try to address these points in a broad discussion with international experts from our panel.
