What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Pakistan 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 Pakistan. 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 various measures to help alleviate the strain on the healthcare system, such as providing additional funding for hospitals and increasing the number of beds available. Despite these efforts, the healthcare system in Pakistan is still struggling to cope with the pandemic. Many people have reported difficulty in accessing medical care, with some having to wait for days or even weeks to receive treatment. Additionally, the cost of medical care has increased significantly, making it difficult for many people to afford the necessary treatments," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Pakistan.
