Egg Freezing & IVF in New Zealand

Medical tourism is still in its infancy in the country. Having said that, it is gaining momentum with its highly personalised patient care and private hospital rooms that look like they're staying in fancy hotels. Patients can save up to 60% in medical treatment costs. Online consultations are also frequently part of the medical packages. Many doctors have trained in Australia, the U.S., and the U.K. Private hospitals have the luxury of primarily dealing with arranged treatments because public hospitals treat chronic and acute or traumatic conditions.

The high standard of living and clean environment are just some of the charms of New Zealand. Nature is at its peak in the fjords, volcanoes, rainforests, and coastal areas.

If you're trying to escape the pollution you get from urban living, you would be happy to know that New Zealand is a country that is mostly free from pollution! Its commitment to green living is seen through its carbon neutrality, using renewable energy sources, and reducing transport emissions.

Aside from ranking as the fourth country in the world in terms of safety, its Kiwi population is friendly and hospitable.

Park your motor home in designated parking areas. Keep an eye on your luggage and bags when in railway stations, airports, and ferry terminals.

You can also take your rented vehicle to cross from North to South islands using the Interislander and Bluebridge ferries.

How Kiwis and the Māori people approach fertility treatment

The Māori indigenous people approach fertility treatment variedly. According to a study, some people prefer to have children naturally while others embrace fertility technology wholeheartedly. Many who suffer from infertility only turn to assisted reproductive technology (ART) as a last resort. The biggest thing they consider is whether ART children would get their whakapapa, which is their lineage tied to economic resources.

Another study pointed to Kiwi women frequently experiencing social stigma and isolation after having infertility treatment so they face choosing between telling the public or not about it. They also expressed anxiety over their careers while on treatment, disruptions of trying to get pregnant to their daily routines, and the hassle of having to schedule appointments outside their working hours.

English is the official and most widely used language. The other official languages are Te reo Māori and New Zealand sign language. Other popular languages are Samoan, Mandarin, Hindi, and French.
