Study on Post COVID Diseases.
Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), an autonomous body under the Department of Health Research, has established a COVID clinical registry at 20 sites across the country to capture clinical treatment and outcomes of COVID-19. This information is only limited to hospitalized patients. Post-Covid studies are being carried out on various conditions like aortic and lung inflammation, mucormycosis etc. Although Health is a State subject, the Government of India has advised the States to establish post-COVID clinics in their respective appropriate health facilities to cater to the needs of people suffering various post COVID conditions.
Also, expert groups are working on modules/guidelines on various post COVID conditions/issues.
The Minister of State (The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare), Dr Bharti Pravin Pawar stated this in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha here today.
