Increasing numbers of New Zealanders are returning home with new hips or knees or other surgical and dental procedures performed at overseas clinics that provide services for medical tourists. Dr Kirsten Lovelock has interviewed many of these patients about how they researched and prepared for their medical procedure, how it went, how they were cared for - and how much it all cost.
Dr Kirsten Lovelock is a senior research fellow, Department of Public Health, Wellington School of Medicine, University of Otago.
