What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Lebanon about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"The pandemic has had a devastating impact on Lebanon's healthcare system. The country has been struggling to cope with the influx of Covid-19 cases, with hospitals and clinics overwhelmed and understaffed. The lack of resources has led to long waiting times for medical care, and many people have been unable to access the care they need. The situation has been further exacerbated by the economic crisis, with many people unable to afford the cost of medical care. The pandemic has also highlighted the need for better access to healthcare in Lebanon, with many people unable to access the care they need due to financial constraints," remarked another expat who made the move to Lebanon.
