The Overlooked Cruelty of Long Covid in the Global South
The impact of long Covid in low- and middle-income countries in the global south is largely undocumented and overlooked, with little research, awareness, or support for those suffering from the after-effects of the virus. Patients in countries like Bolivia, Kenya, and India have had to advocate for themselves to find diagnoses and treatments, as many doctors are unaware of long Covid. The lack of attention to this issue adds to the burden of chronic diseases in these countries, with limited resources and public health concerns taking precedence. The long-term consequences of long Covid in the global south remain uncertain, but the need for evaluation and support is crucial.
