What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Nigeria 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 Nigeria. Many hospitals have been overwhelmed with the influx of patients, leading to long wait times and limited access to medical care. The government has implemented measures to help alleviate the strain on the healthcare system, such as providing additional funding for medical supplies and personnel. However, the lack of resources and infrastructure has made it difficult for the healthcare system to cope with the pandemic. Additionally, the lack of access to testing and treatment has made it difficult for people to get the care they need. Despite these challenges, the healthcare system in Nigeria has been resilient in the face of the pandemic, and many healthcare workers have gone above and beyond to provide care to those in need," explained one expat living in Nigeria.
