What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Tbilisi 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 Tbilisi, Georgia. The government has implemented a number of measures to help protect citizens from the virus, including the introduction of a nationwide lockdown, the closure of schools and universities, and the suspension of public transport. Healthcare workers have been working tirelessly to provide care to those affected by the virus, and the government has provided additional resources to help support the healthcare system. Despite these efforts, the healthcare system in Tbilisi has been strained due to the high number of cases and the limited resources available. Many hospitals have been overwhelmed with patients, and there have been reports of long wait times for appointments and tests. Additionally, the cost of healthcare has increased significantly, making it difficult for many people to access the care they need," explained one expat living in Tbilisi, Georgia.
