Online education of Czech and Slovak health professionals about post-covid syndrome
Online kurz "Všetko o dlhom covide"About the project: The pandemic that has not left
The COVID-19 pandemic seems to be gradually fading, but the consequences in the form of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) remain. Its varied symptoms give doctors a hard time. Health professionals are often left to fend for themselves. This is why patients may encounter lack of understanding and comprehension when they visit the outpatients clinic.
In this program we have brought together the greatest experts in the fields of pneumology, neurology, general medicine, infectology and also experts from specialized postcovid centers in the Czech Republic (Hradec Králové) and Slovakia (Nové Zámky), who will give you their up-to-date knowledge of the diagnosis and therapeutic options of long-covid syndrome.
Data on how many people actually suffer from long covid in Slovakia and the Czech Republic are not available. However, we do know that it is tens of thousands of people. Post-covid syndrome is multidisciplinary in nature and there is no clear-cut treatment for it. We will provide first contact physicians with current experience and the latest scientific knowledge in this dynamically developing field.
This education for physicians is provided for free. You can get credits from SLK (SK) or ČPFS at ČLK (CZ) for attending webinars and completing the online course.
The recordings from these webinars are available in Slovak here.
This projected is funded by Pfizer.

Breathing exercises for patients
With the help of exercises, patients gain control over their bodies. With regular exercise, they will experience less fatigue and increased stress relief. The Covid recovery program was created by respiratory experts from STASIS, an American company, in collaboration with the top-rated Mount Sinai Hospital. Researchers have found that people suffering from post-covid syndrome breathe differently than a healthy person. By breathing incorrectly, they put strain on the nervous system and fatigue the entire body. Exercises reset the functioning of the autonomic nervous system.
