Invisible illnesses can be some of the hardest conditions to live with—not only because of the symptoms, but because so many people struggle to be believed.​
In this South Asian Heritage Month webinar, host Asma Younus is joined by leading Long COVID specialists *Dr Binita Kane* and *Dr Sanjay Gupta* to explore Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS and other invisible illnesses, with a particular focus on the experiences of South Asian communities.Together they discuss:​
  • What Long COVID actually is—and why it's more than one condition.
  • Why many patients receive normal test results despite experiencing debilitating symptoms.
  • The health inequalities affecting South Asian communities.
  • The importance of listening to patients and recognising invisible illness.
  • Practical advice on diagnosis, symptom management and where to seek support.
  • The latest thinking on treatment, recovery and holistic care.

Whether you're living with persistent symptoms, supporting a loved one, or simply want to better understand these conditions, this conversation offers expert insight, practical guidance and, above all, reassurance that your experiences matter.​
Nobody should have to fight to be believed.​
