Postviral Ethics conference - Radboud University, 3 February 2025
This workshop was the very first workshop that addressed postviral ethics as a topic. It not only discussed the various urgent ethical challenges Long Covid and PAIS pose for patients, medical professionals, politicians and social policy makers, but in doing so also highlighted the need for the development of a postviral ethics as a specialized but interdisciplinary area within philosophical ethics as such. The workshop highlighted the necessity of regarding Long Covid and other Post Acute Infectious Syndromes (PAIS) as both a medical and ethical emergency. More workshops and research initiatives will follow from this event. Researchers, patients, policymakers and other societal stakeholders from within and beyond the Netherlands that are interested in these initiatives are encouraged to get in touch (see about/contact page).
