What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Norway 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 Norway. The Norwegian government has implemented a range of measures to protect the population from the virus, including restrictions on travel, social distancing, and the closure of many public spaces. The healthcare system has also been affected, with hospitals and clinics having to adjust their services to meet the demands of the pandemic. In general, the healthcare system has been able to cope with the increased demand, although there have been some delays in appointments and treatments. The Norwegian government has also provided additional funding to the healthcare system to ensure that it can continue to provide quality care to its citizens," remarked another expat in Norway.
