Vietnam
What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Vietnam about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"I have not required medical care for the last 1 1/2 years. I will return to the US for my annual physical once I can travel again. Why doesn't the US government vaccinate expats when so many in the US don't want it and foreigners travel to the US and are easily immunized," remarked another expat who made the move to Cao Lanh, Vietnam.
"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare system in Vietnam. The government has implemented a range of measures to ensure the safety of the population, including the closure of borders, the suspension of international flights, and the introduction of strict quarantine measures. The healthcare system has also been stretched to its limits, with hospitals and clinics struggling to cope with the influx of patients. Despite this, the healthcare system has managed to remain relatively stable, with the government providing additional resources and support to ensure that the system is able to cope with the increased demand. The government has also implemented a range of measures to ensure that the healthcare system is able to provide quality care to all patients, including the introduction of telemedicine services and the provision of free medical services to those in need," explained one expat living in Vietnam.
