Children suffering with long covid are still awaiting support from Government.
The recent Covid review recommends that a programme for treating long covid in children should be developed, almost 4 years on from the first case being detected on Island.
The review highlighted that failing to consider Long Covid as part of emergency planning meant GPs were slow to understand symptoms as being linked to Covid.
50% of long covid sufferers match the symptom profile of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, or ME as it's more commonly known.
Juan Corlett is Chair of ME Support IOM, he said if young people don't have their long covid detected, and managed in an appropriate way, it can have serious implications for their development:
Two more schemes backed by government fund
Island to get Bikesafe scheme for first time
Jurby Junk's Stella dies aged 90
No plans to publish UK's assisted dying letters
Burst water main disrupts Onchan supply
Government advice following spike in data breaches
Plans for four-foot flood walls at Ramsey harbour
Garage blaze in the early hours of this morning
