The project is “shrouded in secrecy," says Prabindra Shakya of local organisation AIPNEE “It is time for the IFC to disclose publicly all documents relating to its involvement with IME Group, to show how and why it didn't apply its Standards [of] protection and respect for Indigenous Peoples.”

This is such a brilliant article: we know what causes long COVID and we know how to treat it - but where is the urgency to invest in the clinical trials needed?

Not a single mention of Long Covid in the Get Britain Working White Paper. Govt still ignoring NHS staff & frontline workers, who put their lives on the line during the pandemic, now suffering with the condition. We urgently need to recognise Long Covid as an occupational disease.
