What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in China about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"The pandemic has had a major impact on the healthcare system in China. Hospitals have been overwhelmed with patients, and many have had to set up temporary facilities to cope with the influx of people seeking medical attention. Doctors and nurses have been working around the clock to provide care to those in need. The government has also implemented strict measures to ensure the safety of healthcare workers, such as requiring them to wear protective gear and limiting the number of visitors allowed in hospitals. Despite the challenges, the healthcare system in China has been able to provide quality care to those affected by the pandemic," remarked another expat in China.
