Post Covid Rehabilitation

Service Description

In Covid patients, lungs are the main organ damaged very badly. Post Covid, pulmonary complications are the leading cause of morbidity. It has been found that Covid-19 survivors have developed pulmonary fibrosis, restrictive lung abnormalities, associated with impaired exercise tolerance experiencing difficulty in activities such as walking, climbing stairs, bathing, lower body dressing etc., leading to a poor quality of life. It can even lead to mortality due to secondary infections in fibrosed lungs. Along with the medical management, pulmonary rehabilitation at all stages – in hospital and in the community plays an integral role in the management of patients suffering from Covid-19 as well as those who have recovered from the infection.
