[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Pohang City Nam-gu Health Center is operating a ‘Long COVID Counseling Center’ to support citizens suffering from aftereffects even after being released from COVID-19 quarantine in recovering their daily lives.


The ‘Long COVID (post-COVID-19 aftereffects) Counseling Center’ allows any Nam-gu resident who continues to experience aftereffects two weeks after quarantine release and is having difficulties to make a reservation through the Nam-gu Health Center call center. The operating hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and health center consultations and medical fees are provided free of charge.


Doctors conduct medical interviews to check health status and, if necessary, chest X-rays and prescriptions can be provided. Since post-COVID-19 aftereffects manifest not only as respiratory symptoms but also as various symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders, psychological counseling linked with the Mental Health Welfare Center will be conducted in addition to internal medicine consultations related to respiratory symptoms.


Additionally, if patients wish to receive treatment at a specialized hospital, they can be treated at Pohang St. Mary’s Hospital, which operates a COVID-19 aftereffects recovery clinic.



Kim Jeong-im, director of Nam-gu Health Center, said, “As part of the citizens’ hope project for daily life recovery, we will continue to operate the Long COVID (post-COVID-19 aftereffects) Counseling Center in the new year. We will prepare various support measures so that citizens can regain their health and vitality as soon as possible.”
