What is Post Covid Care?
COVID-19 patients usually recover entirely within a few weeks. However, some patients’ COVID-19 symptoms last for months after they’ve recovered from the initial infection. Patients may potentially develop problems that necessitate hospitalisation. Long-term COVID cases necessitate medical supervision beyond the first 15-day therapy period.
Patients can manage their symptoms at home and avoid problems with our post-COVID care service. We keep an eye on patients at home for early indicators of concern and respond quickly with clinical assistance.
