Rehabilitation
- WHO Webinar: Expanding our understanding of post COVID-19 condition web series: Rehabilitation Care
- Rehabilitation needs of people recovering from COVID-19 – People who are critically unwell with COVID-19 are likely to have rehabilitation needs during and after their acute illness. In many individuals recovering from COVID-19, health problems may extend far beyond acute infection, even among those who experience mild illness. Limitations in functioning resulting from these problems may affect the physical, cognitive, and mental aspects of health, and may have an important impact on work and social life. Due to the new, fluctuating and protracted course of the after-effects of COVID-19, the need for rehabilitation services in this population may persist beyond the pandemic. This scientific brief informs program planners and decision-makers as well as health care workers about the health impact of COVID-19 and rehabilitation needs in the COVID-19 population
