What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Egypt 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 Egypt. The government has implemented strict measures to contain the spread of the virus, including the closure of schools, universities, and public places. Hospitals have been overwhelmed with patients, leading to long waiting times and a shortage of medical supplies. The government has also implemented a nationwide curfew and a ban on public gatherings, which has made it difficult for people to access medical care. Despite these challenges, the healthcare system in Egypt has been able to provide adequate care to those in need. Doctors and nurses have worked tirelessly to provide the best care possible, and the government has provided financial support to those affected by the pandemic," said a member in Egypt.
