Incheon Naeun Hospital provides multidisciplinary collaborative treatment by medical staff from five departments, centered on the Department of Respiratory Medicine, including the Departments of Gastroenterology, Psychiatry, Neurology, and Orthopedics, to support the stable recovery of Long Covid patients.

Additionally, blood tests, X-rays, pulmonary function tests, and neurological examinations are conducted according to symptoms to identify the causes of COVID-19 aftereffects. Customized management and treatment are provided for each patient, and immediate hospitalization treatment is available after isolation is lifted.
