Advocating for Long COVID Rehabilitation in Manitoba: An Environmental Scan.

By the Manitoba Academic Rehabilitation Sciences COVID Interest Group (MARSCI), University of Manitoba, 2022.

 

This report, organized by the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba, sought to acknowledge the emerging international guidance recommendations that policy makers address long-COVID through a multidisciplinary approach, including interprofessional rehabilitation services. â€‹With this in mind, the MARSCI group conducted an environmental scan to support and make recommendations for long-COVID management in Manitoba.

 

Their objectives were to:

  1. Identify policy for management of Long COVID

  2. Learn about the concerns and advocacy priorities of people with lived experiences of Long COVID, and

  3. Gather information on current Long COVID services in Manitoba​
