Lung Saskatchewan’s Long Term COVID Project
Some people who have been infected with the COVID-19 virus can experience long-term effects from their infections. This is known as post COVID, and can include a wide range of persistent health problems.
Through support to the Lung Saskatchewan’s Long Term COVID Project, a collaboration involving the Long COVID Patient Advisory Council, the University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine, and the Long COVID Task Force at Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA), a new website was launched in 2023 providing resources and two-way communications for those experiencing this affliction.

It ensures that we are here moving forward to support the people in Saskatchewan and to be the front door that assists them in navigating services and finding the supports they need.” – Kristin Nelson, Director of 211 Saskatchewan
