What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads in Somalia about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...

"The pandemic has had a devastating impact on Somalia's healthcare system, which was already struggling with limited resources and infrastructure. Many healthcare facilities have been overwhelmed by the influx of patients, leading to long wait times and overcrowding. The lack of access to medical supplies and protective equipment has also put healthcare workers at risk of infection. In addition, the pandemic has caused a shortage of medical personnel, as many have been forced to stay home due to the risk of infection. The Somali government has taken steps to address the crisis, including providing additional funding for healthcare facilities and increasing access to medical supplies. However, the situation remains dire, and more needs to be done to ensure that the healthcare system can adequately respond to the pandemic," explained one expat living in Somalia.
