Post-viral syndromes, PACVS, and chronic disease affect millions — yet rigorous, independent research remains critically underfunded. Help us change that.
Millions of patients worldwide live with debilitating post-viral and post-vaccination syndromes — yet the scientific infrastructure needed to understand, diagnose, and treat these conditions barely exists. There are no agreed diagnostic criteria. There is no centralized biobank. Evidence on potential treatments remains scattered and unsynthesised.
The Open Source Medicine Foundation exists to close these gaps — publishing the evidence, building the infrastructure, and convening the experts. Our work is already cited by national advisory committees shaping clinical policy on PACVS. This campaign funds the next phase.
A single-site biological sample and data repository recruiting dengue patients in Honduras — building the foundational infrastructure to understand post-viral syndromes and the commonalities that cut across them.
Our team has extensive experience meeting the challenging task of bringing PACVS research into peer-reviewed journals — improving clinical understanding and awareness of a condition that medicine has been slow to recognise.
Developing and publishing the first evidence-based, consensus-informed diagnostic framework for PACVS — giving clinicians a structured, reproducible way to identify and classify affected patients.
Rigorous and open source. Open source medicine, supporting patients and clinicians everywhere.
