Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Long Covid and Monkeypox: Discussion

Dr. Ciaran Bannan:

I wholeheartedly agree. It is about acknowledging patients' symptoms and that what they are going through is very important. Early on in the pandemic, many patients felt they were being shut down and just told to get on with it. It is really about acknowledging the condition and making sure that we are not missing anything else because patients may have heart failure that has been worsened by the Covid. We are optimising underlying medical conditions, making sure that nothing new is emergent and supporting the patients on a path to recovery through holistic methods.
