What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Uganda 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 Uganda. Many healthcare facilities have had to reduce their services due to a lack of resources and staff, and the government has implemented strict measures to limit the spread of the virus. Despite these challenges, healthcare workers have continued to provide essential services to those in need. The government has also provided additional funding to support the healthcare system, and has implemented measures to ensure that vulnerable populations have access to healthcare. Additionally, the government has launched a number of initiatives to raise awareness about the importance of preventive measures, such as handwashing and social distancing," said another in Uganda.
