What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Panama City about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"Health care services have become dedicated 90% to caring for patients with Covid-19. For anybody with other health care needs during this time, you are basically out of luck. Fortunately, we haven't needed medical or dental care care in the last 11 months. Our regular doctor and dentist offices have been closed," remarked another expat who made the move to Panama City, Panama.
"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the local healthcare system in Panama City. Many hospitals and clinics have had to reduce their services due to the lack of resources and personnel. Additionally, the government has implemented strict measures to limit the spread of the virus, such as the closure of non-essential businesses and the restriction of movement. As a result, many people have had difficulty accessing medical care, as well as other essential services. Despite these challenges, the healthcare system in Panama City has been able to provide adequate care to those in need. The government has also implemented various initiatives to support the healthcare system, such as providing financial assistance to hospitals and clinics, and increasing the availability of medical supplies," explained one expat living in Panama City, Panama.
