Our foundation president, Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg chaired the NASEM committee responsible for this pivotal report that aims to bring clarity and consistency to the diagnosis and treatment of the long-term effects of COVID-19, a condition that continues to impact lives globally. "Despite the fact that there have been many efforts to characterize this condition and many different definitions put forward, there has not yet been a common definition that has been widely agreed upon," said Committee Chair Harvey Fineberg, M.D., Ph.D., president of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. "The lack of a considered uniform definition that's widely accepted hampers individual patients' ability to get the care they need." "It hampers research, surveillance, and the availability of support for our patients who have this condition.” The report underscores the necessity for a concerted effort for medical professionals, policymakers, and philanthropists for improving patient care, research, and public health strategies. Dive in to explore comprehensive insights and recommendations that can transform the response to long COVID.
