In light of the long-haul symptoms faced by huge number of recovered COVID-19 patients, Abdali Hospital has launched a specialized clinic that cares for patients after they recover from COVID-19.

The COVID-19 Recovery Clinic offers physical, cognitive, and psychological assessments with the aim of providing consistent post-COVID syndrome services for all who need them, whether they were hospitalized or not and regardless of their age group or physical condition.

 
Long-haul symptoms include signs and symptoms that develop during or following an infection consistent with COVID-19 which continue for more than 6-12 weeks and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis. The condition usually presents itself with clusters of symptoms, often overlapping, which may change over time and can affect any system within the body. Many people with post-COVID syndrome can also experience generalized pain, fatigue, persisting high temperature and psychiatric problems. 

The mission of Abdali Hospital’s COVID-19 Recovery Clinic is to contribute to the health and well-being by providing the best care to every patient through integrated clinical practice, following the latest, rapidly emerging evidence-based guidelines. This specialized clinic gives patients the right care to optimize recovery from COVID-19 and its long-term effects.

 
To be eligible for the services of the COVID-19 Recovery Clinic, the individual should be a recovered COVID-19 patient who completed 4 weeks after the 14 days of isolation. The individual could be suffering from symptoms or simply interested in conducting check-ups to assess his/her health after COVID-19 recovery.

The protocols of the COVID-19 Recovery Clinic is based on the best available international evidence and standards, whereby the process starts with a vital signs assessment, a detailed COVID-19 history questionnaire and continues with physical exam by the relevant doctor and some blood tests.
 

Based on Abdali Hospital’s multidisciplinary approach, the doctors who are managing the COVID-19 Recovery Clinic will be closely collaborating with other doctors and clinicians of various specialties (pulmonology, cardiology nephrology, gastrointestinal, ENT, endocrinology, psychology and nutrition among other specialties). The value lies in giving patients access to multi-professional advice, so that they are put onto the right treatment to optimise their health post COVID-19.

Abdali Hospital is a 200-bed multispecialty hospital with the mission to provide best-practice patient-centred care and to promote research and education in Jordan and the MENA. The hospital offers comprehensive diagnostic services, outpatient clinics, emergency and all hospital services across over 17 specialties.
