Answer this Question

We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Dunedin. They wrote...

"Dunedin offers a comprehensive range of healthcare services, including both public and private options. The city is home to Dunedin Hospital, which is a major public hospital providing a wide range of medical services, from emergency care to specialist treatments. The hospital is also a teaching and research center, affiliated with the University of Otago. In addition to the public hospital, there are numerous private clinics and practices throughout the city, offering services such as general practice, dental care, physiotherapy, and mental health services. Dunedin also has several pharmacies where residents can access prescription medications and other health-related products. The city also has a number of aged care facilities and services for the elderly, including residential care homes and home care services. There are also several organizations providing support for people with disabilities. Dunedin's healthcare services are generally of a high standard, with a focus on patient-centered care. The city's healthcare providers are known for their professionalism and dedication, and the facilities are well-equipped and modern. In terms of accessibility, healthcare in Dunedin is generally affordable, especially for residents who are eligible for public healthcare. However, like in many parts of New Zealand, there can sometimes be long wait times for certain non-emergency procedures in the public system, which leads some people to opt for private healthcare. Overall, Dunedin offers a wide range of healthcare services to meet the needs of its diverse population," wrote a member who made the move to Dunedin, New Zealand.
