What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Honduras 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 Honduras. Access to healthcare has become increasingly difficult due to the limited resources available. Many hospitals and clinics have had to reduce their services due to the lack of staff and supplies. Additionally, the cost of medical care has increased, making it difficult for many people to access the care they need. The government has implemented some measures to help alleviate the burden, such as providing free testing and providing financial assistance to those in need. However, the situation remains challenging and many people are still struggling to access the care they need," remarked another expat who made the move to Honduras.
"I know 2 neighbors who did have Covid and the care they received was fantastic! They are both alive and well despite having had pneumonia, and it cost each of them approximately $1000 for their care, with no health insurance," explained one expat living in Roatan, Honduras.
