What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Madrid about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"I had to see urgent gynecologist. They did my ultrasound same day .then MRI 1 day later and specialist 1 day later. Super fast!!!! And the cost was all Under $1000 . Incredible compared to US," said another expat in Madrid, Spain.
"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare system in Madrid. The healthcare system has had to adapt to the changing needs of the population, with an increased demand for services and resources. The government has implemented a number of measures to ensure that the healthcare system is able to cope with the increased demand, including the introduction of telemedicine services and the expansion of hospital capacity. In addition, the government has provided additional funding to support the healthcare system, including the provision of additional staff and equipment. Despite these measures, the healthcare system in Madrid has been under considerable strain, with long waiting times for appointments and a shortage of medical supplies," wrote a member who made the move to Madrid, Spain.
