What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Kuwait 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 Kuwait. The government has implemented strict measures to ensure the safety of citizens, including the closure of some medical facilities and the introduction of telemedicine services. The healthcare system has also been strained due to the influx of patients seeking treatment for COVID-19. Despite the challenges, the healthcare system has been able to provide quality care to those in need. The government has also provided financial support to healthcare workers and medical facilities to help them cope with the increased demand," said a member in Kuwait.
