"Long COVID is a post-acute infection syndrome characterised by the persistence
of symptoms following a COVID-19 illness. This novel and complex condition has
a debilitating and often disabling impact on patients and remains a challenge
for healthcare professionals and health systems to adapt to. This report
estimates the economic impact of long COVID across OECD countries from both
direct healthcare costs and more significantly indirect costs related to
reduced productivity and workforce exit. The report summarises national
initiatives and priorities for defining, recognising and managing long COVID.
The policies required to provide integrated care for long COVID contribute to
building resilient and people-centered health systems for any future health
threats."
