Meeting Description
The Demystifying Long COVID International Conference 2023 took place on 7 - 9 December 2023 in Madrid, Spain. The conference aimed to raise awareness, clarify misconceptions, promote understanding, and stimulate discussion among healthcare professionals, investigators, policymakers, and community representatives on the clinical manifestations, management, plausible preventive and therapeutic options, and public health challenges related to long COVID (or post-acute sequelae of COVID-19).
The program featured state-of-the-art lectures, case presentations, and interactive sessions tailored to address educational needs in global healthcare settings. Ample time was reserved for debates and panel discussions to enhance knowledge exchange and reinforce the implementation of clinical guidelines and recommendations.
This was done in the unique context of the COVID-19 pandemic considering regional differences in epidemiology, morbidity, and mortality, access to vaccines, tests, and medications, health system capacity, and public health measures.

Congratulations on this excellent study and the people and institutions involved. I hopee this could pave the way for other studies to treat the pathology of long covid. From Spain, we encourage you to continue investigating, here in our country we estimate that more than 2 million people are affected, with a multitude of symptoms of fatigue and especially post-exercise discomfort. Thank you a good luck for eveyone.
