The Institut Guttmann is part of the first functional unit for persistent pediatric covid in Catalonia. It is a pioneering unit created by the Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital as a result of the need to care for children and adolescents who, after passing the covid, continue to show symptoms for months, mainly fatigue, shortness of breath, weakness and headaches. The Unit began operating on 15th December and currently treats 14 patients in the Northern Metropolitan area, Lleida and Girona, aged between 10 and 17 years.

We have launched PARTICIPA, the first social research project led by the Institut Guttmann and promoted together with the other associations of people with disabilities that are part of the Social and Participation Council and other experts and entities related to the world of disability.

The aim of this project is to know and understand how to promote the participation of people with disabilities in the community to create a fully inclusive society.
