What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Ghana 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 Ghana. Many healthcare facilities have had to reduce their services due to the lack of resources and staff. The government has implemented various measures to help contain the spread of the virus, such as the closure of schools and public places, and the enforcement of social distancing. Despite these efforts, the healthcare system has been overwhelmed by the influx of patients seeking treatment for COVID-19. Many healthcare workers have been overworked and underpaid, and there have been reports of shortages of medical supplies and equipment. The government has also implemented a free testing and treatment program for those who cannot afford to pay for medical care. Despite these efforts, the healthcare system in Ghana is still struggling to cope with the pandemic," said a member in Ghana.
