Chronic - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In medicine a chronic disease or condition is one that takes a long time to heal (or go away), or one that comes again. Many chronic diseases require special treatment, as this has to be done for a long time. A chronic disease can even last for a lifetime.
