What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?

When we asked expats and global nomads in Manila about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...

"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare system in Manila. Many hospitals have been overwhelmed with the influx of patients, leading to long wait times and limited access to medical care. Additionally, the shortage of medical supplies and protective equipment has made it difficult for healthcare workers to provide adequate care. The government has implemented various measures to help alleviate the strain on the healthcare system, such as providing additional funding for hospitals and increasing the number of beds available. Despite these efforts, the healthcare system in Manila continues to be strained due to the pandemic," remarked another expat in Manila, Philippines.

"Only complaint i have is Doctors here in Philippines will send you to multiple doctors and prescribe medicine you dont really have.IDoc sent me to another doctor for a untrasound on my stomach when I already had it done. 1st ultrasound was12 usd and she took 30 minutes completing it. The second Doctor took less than 4 minutes and charged me 30 usd. 2nd Report said same thing as the 1st one.2nd ultrasoung I was charged 15usd for a report(took less than 5 mins to make 2 pieces of paper) 1st ultrasound they didnt charge men for the report-just the 30 minute ultrasound.," said a member in Manila, Philippines.
