Key Points

• Long COVID may affect millions of Mexicans, but a lack of information prohibits adequate medical care and innovative research.
• Some Mexican doctors are calling on the government to establish a national clinical guideline, which could direct local clinics and medical experts on how best to diagnose and treat the disease.
• Similar to other countries, the government places higher-priority on surveilling and addressing other easier-to-diagnose diseases, like dengue.
• Despite attempts to approve a clinical guideline, the government agency in charge of approvals has yet to review the proposal.
