Chronic fatigue syndrome and long COVID are two of the most under-diagnosed and debilitating conditions. Now for the first time, Western Australians are being urged to roll up their sleeves to help find answers, sooner.
Seventeen collection sites have opened across Western Australia, making it easier for people to contribute blood samples to support ME/CFS and long COVID research.
The expansion of the AusME Registry and Biobank in WA has been made possible through the partnership between Emerge Australia and Edith Cowan University. We are grateful to Stacey Hollings for sharing her story and to Seven News for helping raise awareness of this important initiative.
