What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?

When we asked expats and global nomads in Guatemala 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 Guatemala. Access to healthcare has become increasingly difficult due to the limited resources available. Many healthcare facilities have been overwhelmed by the influx of patients, leading to long wait times and overcrowding. Additionally, the lack of personal protective equipment has put healthcare workers at risk of contracting the virus. Despite these challenges, the healthcare system in Guatemala has been able to provide essential services to those in need," explained one expat living in Guatemala.

"Out of the 2 times that I have gotten sick a couple years ago the doctors were great," said another in Guatemala.
