On January 18, 2024, DREDF submitted written comments on the importance of maintaining federal efforts to advance research and improve patient care on Long COVID, particularly in light of the inequitable impact of failing to do so.
Our comments were submitted to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions for their January 18, 2024 Hearing on “Addressing Long COVID: Advancing Research and Improving Patient Care.” Supporting research to address the many questions that still remain about the highly individualized condition, and elevating the testimony of people who have been disabled by Long COVID, are two vital ways to fight ongoing disinformation and discrimination against those living with Long COVID.
