The COVID-19 pandemic, whose successive waves have caused a huge number of illnesses and deaths around the world, has exposed the problems that healthcare systems in many countries are struggling with. It has also shown how important access to primary healthcare, diagnostic tests and prevention is in fighting the disease. In the case of SARS-CoV-2, we currently know the etiology of the disease, but we will probably struggle with its long-term consequences for decades. Studies are underway around the world involving people who have had infections caused by the coronavirus. Only the results of a large number of tests will allow us to draw conclusions about the impact of COVID-19 on the health of the entire population. 

For now, one thing is certain – only specific tests and consultations allow for the assessment of the patient's health after the illness. It is wrong to think that a few simple diagnostic tests or chest X-rays are enough. In reality, the assessment of health is primarily the knowledge of the doctor, who deals with the disease and its consequences on a daily basis. Additional laboratory tests or diagnostic imaging are only tools in the hands of a specialist. 

The proper selection of tests and their interpretation, physical examination, treating the patient as a "whole" and not treating individual organs, is the goal of comprehensive diagnostics offered in the commercial packages of NZOZ Twój Lekarz. The second goal is to make a medical diagnosis and answer the question of whether worse well-being after illness is the result of organ damage or the effect of weakening of the body requiring convalescence. 

The best time for diagnostics is 3-6 months after contracting SARS-CoV-2 or when disturbing symptoms appear. These include: persistent weakness, shortness of breath, significant reduction in physical capacity, worsening of chronic diseases. After consultations, following the recommendations and undergoing rehabilitation, we expect effects in the form of improved body capacity and physical condition, as well as better well-being.
