Question 14303 — diseases

Summary

Ms. Tiffany Joncour draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the serious inadequacies noted in the care of children suffering from prolonged forms of covid-19, commonly referred to as “pediatric long covid”. Even though this pathology is now the subject of increasing recognition by international health authorities, its concrete translation into French public policies remains particularly lacking, particularly with regard to minors. Many families report persistent medical wandering, a failure to recognize symptoms as well as an almost total absence of specialized structures capable of ensuring a reliable diagnosis and appropriate follow-up. This situation has particularly serious human consequences. Of Many children find themselves faced with prolonged interruptions in their schooling, marked social isolation, as well as a progressive deterioration in their state of health due to inadequate or late treatment. Furthermore, families are often forced to profoundly reorganize their daily lives, going so far as to interrupt their professional activity, which accentuates their economic and social fragility. In Furthermore, the measures announced as part of the national strategy relating to long covid appear, in fact, largely ineffective for children. Coordination units are difficult to access, health professionals are insufficiently trained in these pediatric forms and no care pathway specifically structured for minors seems fully operational today across the entire territory. In this context, the MP questions the Minister on the concrete measures she intends to implement in order to guarantee effective, coordinated and appropriate care for children with long-term covid. She wishes in particular to know if the Government intends to fully recognize pediatric long-term covid as a pathology requiring a specific organization of care, what measures are envisaged to structure a care pathway dedicated to minors, including the creation or certification of specialized centers, how it intends to strengthen the training of health professionals on this still insufficiently known pathology and finally what measures will be taken to support the families concerned, particularly in terms of educational continuity and social support. She also questions him about the precise timetable for the implementation of these measures, in order to respond to a health and human situation which now calls for rapid and concrete responses.
