What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Al Khobar about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the local healthcare system in Al Khobar. The government has implemented strict safety protocols to ensure the safety of patients and healthcare workers, including mandatory temperature checks, social distancing, and the use of face masks. Hospitals have also implemented additional measures such as limiting the number of visitors and providing telemedicine services. Despite these measures, the healthcare system has been overwhelmed by the influx of patients seeking treatment for COVID-19. As a result, wait times for appointments have increased and access to medical care has become more difficult. Despite these challenges, the healthcare system in Al Khobar has been able to provide quality care to those in need," remarked another expat who made the move to Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.
