What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Turkey 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 Turkey. The government has implemented a number of measures to ensure the safety of healthcare workers and patients, including the introduction of telemedicine services, the provision of protective equipment, and the implementation of social distancing protocols. Despite these measures, the healthcare system has been overwhelmed by the influx of patients, leading to long wait times and overcrowding in hospitals. Additionally, the pandemic has caused a shortage of medical supplies, such as masks and ventilators, which has further strained the healthcare system. Despite these challenges, the healthcare system in Turkey has been able to provide quality care to those in need," remarked another expat in Turkey.
