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

"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare system in Malta. The government has implemented a number of measures to ensure the safety of healthcare workers and patients, including the introduction of telemedicine services, the provision of personal protective equipment, and the implementation of strict social distancing protocols. The healthcare system has also been bolstered by the deployment of additional medical personnel and the provision of additional resources. Despite these measures, the pandemic has put a strain on the healthcare system, with long waiting times for appointments and a backlog of cases. However, the healthcare system in Malta has been praised for its response to the pandemic, with the government providing additional resources and support to ensure that the healthcare system is able to cope with the increased demand," explained one expat living in Malta.
