What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Los Angeles about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the local healthcare system in Los Angeles. Many hospitals have had to reduce their services and staff due to the strain of the pandemic, leading to longer wait times and reduced access to care. Telehealth services have become more widely available, allowing patients to access care from the comfort of their own homes. However, many patients have reported difficulty in accessing these services due to lack of access to technology or internet. Additionally, the pandemic has caused a shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers, leading to increased risk of exposure to the virus. Despite these challenges, healthcare workers in Los Angeles have continued to provide essential care to those in need," remarked another expat who made the move to Los Angeles, the United States.
