Post Covid NL: online information and digital contact with fellow sufferers

Post Covid Tens of thousands of Dutch people with long-term complaints after a corona infection are struggling with a clinical picture about which much is still unclear. Often they have not yet been able to resume their old lives. The recovery is difficult and they have major concerns about their future, their work and income. Acceptance (also by those around them) is difficult. The large group of people with Post-Covid complaints appears to benefit greatly from regular digital contact with fellow sufferers and from accessible, online access to reliable information from experts. This contributes greatly to their well-being and supports them on the road to recovery. The busy digital platform PostCovidNL.nl, an initiative of Longfonds in collaboration with other health organizations, meets the needs of the ever-growing group of patients with PostCovid. The approach appears to be very effective. That is why this project focuses on the important sustainable further development of the platform.
