The healthcare system in New Zealand
New Zealand’s healthcare system performs well and can prove expensive. It is nonetheless possible to benefit from a state-funded price advantage by registering with a Primary Health Organisation (PHO) after finding a referring GP (general practitioner).
This is done through the Ministry of Health.
Expats staying more than 24 months must provide a medical certificate as well as a chest X-ray.
