Nicaragua
What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Nicaragua about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"The pandemic has had a significant impact on Nicaragua's healthcare system. Access to healthcare has become increasingly difficult due to the lack of resources and the limited number of healthcare professionals available. Many healthcare facilities have been overwhelmed by the influx of patients, leading to long wait times and overcrowding. Additionally, the government has implemented strict restrictions on movement, making it difficult for people to access healthcare services. Despite these challenges, the healthcare system has been able to provide essential services to those in need," said another in Nicaragua.

"The government in Nicaragua tends to downplay the pandemic, so it is hard to tell how well people are treated if sick. When we returned from a trip to the USA a few months ago, the government health authorities called to check on our health a few times after our return," explained one expat who made the move to Tola, Nicaragua.
