The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will open clinics at its nine hospitals to treat patients suffering from Long COVID, starting next Monday.

 

Permanent Secretary of the BMA, Khachit Chatchavanich, said today (Thursday) that patients who are eligible to receive treatment at these clinics must have recovered from their COVID-19 infection for more than a month, with the services focusing on monitoring their post-COVID symptoms.

Khachit said that the model is a one stop service, which means the patients who suspect they may develop Long COVID will be screened and see a doctor in the same place. If they need psychiatric counselling, they will be required to fill out a questionnaire, to help assess their mental health before seeing a doctor.

That's an interesting tidbit. They seem to expect a significant number of walk-ins who have just made it up.
