"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare system in Medellin. The city has seen an increase in the number of patients seeking medical attention, leading to overcrowding in hospitals and clinics. The government has implemented strict protocols to ensure the safety of both patients and healthcare workers, including the use of face masks, social distancing, and temperature checks. Additionally, the government has provided additional resources to healthcare facilities to help them cope with the increased demand. Despite these efforts, the healthcare system in Medellin has been strained due to the pandemic, leading to long wait times and limited access to medical care," remarked another expat who made the move to Medellin, Colombia.
