Drug Development and Pharmaceuticals: Addressing Long COVID through Investment and Policy
Exploring the Challenges of Drug Development for Long COVID
In recent months, the focus on drug development for long COVID has intensified, as various pharmaceuticals strive to address the needs of millions suffering from this condition. However, researchers at multiple AViDD centers confirmed that while the NIH has provided a 1-year, no-cost extension for ongoing projects, additional funding remains elusive.
Investment Gaps in Research Funding
- This lack of research funding hampers progress in developing effective treatments for chronic illnesses like long COVID.
- The intersection of business policy and health investment strategies plays a critical role in driving innovation.
- Continued advocacy for increased funding is essential to bridge the gaps and facilitate breakthroughs in drug development.
As the impact of COVID-19 evolves, the pharmaceutical industry must adapt its strategies to meet the needs of those affected. Policymakers and stakeholders need to prioritize investment in research that targets both long COVID and associated chronic illnesses.
