What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Papua New Guinea 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 Papua New Guinea. Access to healthcare services has been limited due to the closure of many health facilities, and the lack of resources and personnel to provide care. The government has implemented a number of measures to address the situation, including the deployment of mobile health teams to remote areas, and the provision of additional funding for health services. Despite these efforts, the healthcare system in Papua New Guinea is still struggling to cope with the demands of the pandemic. Many people are unable to access the care they need, and the quality of care is often inadequate. The pandemic has also highlighted the need for greater investment in the healthcare system, to ensure that everyone in Papua New Guinea has access to quality healthcare," remarked another expat who made the move to Papua New Guinea.
