I remember it well. I could barely speak with #longcovid vocal and speech issues at the time.
Our historic meeting with @mvankerkhove @WHO took place in August 2020 - we invited a range of speakers with lived experience
Afterwards Director General @DrTedros told us he had received our SOS

Such an important text. And thank you for problematizing Euro-Western-centric health systems and knowledges. Some of us have raised that many Euro-Eastern knowledges are commonly dismissed, thus I so appreciate the distinction made and will use your terminology and cite this work
