NAKO, the German National Cohort, will play a key role in the National Decade on "Post-Infectious Diseases", initiated by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space (BMFTR). Building on its years of foundational work, NAKO provides the essential groundwork for a deeper understanding of the health impacts of infections - including Long COVID - across the population.
Prof. Annette Peters, Director of the Institute of Epidemiology at Helmholtz Munich, is Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of NAKO e.V.. Read her statement on NAKO becoming a key pillar of the “National Decade on Post-Infectious Diseases” in our German news.
