About 20 research projects in different areas related to covid-19 are ongoing at Sahlgrenska Academy and the Sahlgrenska University Hospital, according to a review by the hospital. One study about to start concerns palliative care and related persons:
“We want to see at how patients are affected by the whole society talking about death. How does it affect a person who already has a life-threatening illness and how does it affect his or her relatives”, says Inger Benkel, associate professor of experimental geriatrics.
Another example is a study that examines how many in the elderly care system that hitherto have had corona infection and perhaps acquired immunity.
