Long COVID: INSP mobilizes health professionals to improve care

The National Institute of Public Health (INSP) held a scientific meeting in Abidjan-Plateau on October 29 about the lasting effects of COVID-19 and care for people with long COVID. INSP director William Yavo said persistent, sometimes disabling symptoms continue to affect patients’ health, family lives and work, and called for better identification and evidence-based care. Since 2023, the ECHO Long COVID program, run with the University of New Mexico, has strengthened the skills of more than 500 health professionals from over 40 countries.
