What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Afghanistan 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 Afghanistan. Access to healthcare has become increasingly difficult due to the closure of many health facilities and the disruption of supply chains. Many healthcare workers have been overworked and underpaid, leading to a shortage of medical personnel. The lack of resources and the limited capacity of the healthcare system has made it difficult for people to access the care they need. Additionally, the pandemic has exacerbated existing issues such as gender inequality in healthcare access, as women are often unable to access the care they need due to cultural and religious barriers. The pandemic has also highlighted the need for increased investment in the healthcare system in Afghanistan, as well as improved access to healthcare for all citizens," explained one expat living in Afghanistan.
