Medical Care
In New Zealand, everyday medical needs usually start with a GP (General Practitioner). In urgent situations, you can go to an Emergency Department, After Hours clinic, or Urgent Care clinic.
TIP
New Zealand's healthcare system is different from China's. After arriving in New Zealand, it is recommended to register with a GP as early as possible and learn where nearby emergency and After Hours services are located.
