The authorities spoke about the fate of post-COVID rehabilitation in the Kama region

For people suffering from post-COVID syndrome, the authorities are not going to pay for spa treatment. However, for such patients, an in-depth medical examination program has been introduced. She started July 1st. This was announced at a 59.ru briefing on the situation with CORONAVIRUS in the Kama region by HEALTH Minister Anastasia Kruten. Natalya Koryagina, chief freelance therapist of the Ministry of Health of the Perm Territory, spoke in more detail about the medical examination for patients with post-COVID syndrome.

“Post-like syndrome can affect up to a third of patients with coronavirus infection. With it, damage to the NERVOUS SYSTEM is observed, and for young people this can be expressed by weakness and partial disability. Specific methods of treatment have not been developed at the moment, that is, if heart problems are observed, and they occur in 90% of our patients, a cardiologist's consultation is prescribed, and if the nervous system is damaged, then a neurologist's consultation. In-depth medical examination is divided into several groups, and the first group is people who have had a disease of moderate severity and severe cases with chronic infectious diseases. And the main group that we pay attention to is patients with chronic hypertension, coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure.

The in-depth medical examination, which started on July 1, has two stages: the first stage is an assessment of spirography, that is, lung function, this is radiography, that is, an assessment of changes in the lungs. It is also a consultation with a therapist. After it, it is decided to send to the second stage - computed tomography and check for the risk of thrombosis, ”explained Koryagina.

Earlier, RBC Perm reported that more than 50,000 residents of the Perm Territory suffer from "post-COVID syndrome." This was announced by the chief freelance epidemiologist of the Ministry of Health of the Perm Territory Vadislav Semerikov.

He explained that there is no such thing as a “pouch-like syndrome” today, but doctors are actively dealing with patients who need rehabilitation after an illness. Many people who have recovered from covid have a decrease in immunity, respiratory disorders, as well as cardiovascular pathologies. Patients with vascular lesions need serious rehabilitation.
