What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Qatar 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 Qatar. The government has taken a number of measures to ensure the safety of the population, including the introduction of a comprehensive testing and contact tracing system, the implementation of strict quarantine measures, and the provision of free healthcare services to all citizens and residents. The healthcare system has also been bolstered by the deployment of additional medical staff and the provision of additional medical equipment. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the healthcare system in Qatar has been able to provide quality care to those in need," wrote a member who made the move to Qatar.
