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

"The pandemic has had a significant impact on Ivory Coast's healthcare system. The country has seen a surge in cases of COVID-19, leading to an increased demand for medical services. The government has responded by increasing the number of beds in hospitals and providing additional medical personnel. However, the healthcare system is still struggling to cope with the increased demand, leading to long wait times and overcrowding in hospitals. Additionally, the lack of access to testing and treatment has been a major challenge, as many people are unable to access the necessary medical care. Despite these challenges, the government has taken steps to ensure that the healthcare system is able to cope with the pandemic, such as providing additional funding and resources to healthcare facilities," explained one expat living in Ivory Coast.
