Uganda lacks followup mechanism for recovered COVID patientsSeptember 3, 2020Written by URN

Recovered coronavirus patients discharged from Ugandan hospitals are not being followed up by the ministry of Health, eliciting fears that many could be silently battling COVID-19 health after-effects. According to several health officials, there is no mechanism to follow up. This leaves thousands of recovered COVID-19 patients exposed to such conditions as fatigue, racing heartbeats, shortness of breath, achy joints, foggy thinking and persistent loss of smell as after-effects of having been infected with COVID-19.
