"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare system in Argentina. The government has implemented a number of measures to try to contain the spread of the virus, including the closure of non-essential services, the suspension of elective surgeries, and the implementation of social distancing measures. Despite these efforts, the healthcare system has been overwhelmed by the number of cases, leading to long wait times for appointments and tests, and a shortage of medical supplies. Additionally, the pandemic has caused a financial strain on the healthcare system, with many hospitals and clinics struggling to stay afloat. Despite these challenges, the healthcare system in Argentina has been able to provide quality care to those in need," remarked another expat who made the move to Argentina.
