Katharina Stibrant Sunnerhagen receives almost SEK 2.5 million from AFA for project to follow up homecoming after covid-19

Katharina Stibrant Sunnerhagen, professor of rehabilitation medicine at the University of Gothenburg, is granted SEK 2,475,000 in a call from AFA Insurance. The project will investigate disabilities, care treatment and drug consumption in a thousand people who have previously been treated in hospitals for covid-19. The study includes describing the consequences and recovery over time for the patients. The project is expected to provide a picture of what remaining problems and what need for follow-up care and rehabilitation discharged covid-19 patients have. The project is also expected to result in a model for follow-up of patients via 1177 Vårdguiden which can also be used after other types of hospital care.
