“The specialist day is intended to bring together those affected by Long Covid, Post Covid, ME/CFS and Post-Vac with players in the healthcare system and politics for exchange and discussion,” said the health policy spokeswoman for the SPD parliamentary group, Christine Klingohr. Corona is not over yet. While everyday life has returned to normal for the majority of people, many are still suffering from the consequences of the pandemic to this day. The goal remains to provide better care for those affected.
“That’s why we don’t just want to use our specialist days to contribute to better networking between those affected and those involved in the healthcare system. Above all, we want to send a clear signal: You are not alone, we are at your side,” said Klingohr.
Professor Reisinger: Further training for doctors
Emil Reisinger from the Rostock University Medical Center emphasized that the most common symptoms of long- and post-Covid are exhaustion, shortness of breath, cognitive problems and pain. The treating doctors would have to deal with each individual case separately and take each individual situation into account. “With today’s specialist day, doctors can continue their training in this special field.”
The most common symptoms of long- or post-Covid are exhaustion, shortness of breath, cognitive problems and pain. “However, since no pathogenetic mechanism has been confirmed, therapy remains individual and symptomatic. This means that treating doctors must address each individual case separately and take each individual situation into account,” says Reisinger.
According to the Left Party’s health policy spokesman, Torsten Koplin, the focus in Schwerin is particularly on the care of children and young people. “Those affected and their relatives still describe that they are sometimes met with a lack of understanding. We want to change that for our state,” he said.
