Long Covid, or Post-Covid Conditions, is a global health problem. Yet we know strikingly little about the different experiences of Long Covid patients cross-nationally. To address this shortcoming, we conducted an online survey of Long Covid patients active on social media in the U.S. ( = 334, October to December 2021) and Brazil ( = 144, January to April 2022). Our analysis of short answer responses indicates patient dissatisfaction with medical care provided for Long Covid in both the U.S. and Brazil. For Long Covid patients in Brazil, there were additional concerns raised about the lack of local expertise about their condition. Based on these results, we urge policymakers to expand the education of medical professionals in order to raise awareness of Long Covid. Experts in the Global North should also be encouraged to engage in dialogue with patient groups and experts in the Global South, in order to better understand how local contexts shape the experience of Long Covid.
长期新冠，或新冠后状况，是一个全球性的健康问题。然而，我们对于跨国的长期新冠患者的不同经历知之甚少。为了解决这一不足，我们对美国（ = 334 人，2021 年 10 月至 12 月）和巴西（ = 144 人，2022 年 1 月至 4 月）活跃于社交媒体的长期新冠患者进行了一项在线调查。我们对简短回答的分析表明，美国和巴西的长期新冠患者都对所提供的医疗服务不满意。对于巴西的长期新冠患者，还提出了对其病情缺乏当地专业知识的额外担忧。基于这些结果，我们敦促政策制定者扩大医疗专业人员的教育，以提高对长期新冠的认识。还应鼓励全球北方的专家与全球南方的患者群体和专家进行对话，以更好地了解当地环境如何塑造长期新冠的体验。
