Why choose International Surgery?
International Surgery was developed in New Zealand to cater for an obvious need for an alternative to the exceptionally long waiting lists for surgery throughout the country. There are simply not enough facilities, medical staff or funding to satisfy the enormous demand for various procedures throughout New Zealand. In many instances this means patients are subjected to waiting lists for months, even years before they get to have their surgery.
Being on a waiting list is not just about the wait. Many patients are in constant pain, often to the point where they can not work or take part in daily activites, or worse, immobilises them so they can no longer enjoy normal family life.
However, providing an alternative surgical facility is not just a matter of ringing up any hospital and sending patients to them. At International Surgery, our aim is to provide the most advanced facility we could find anywhere in the world, but at an affordable cost.
We spent over three years searching and evaluating options before deciding upon the state-of-the-art Fortis Memorial Hospital and Research Institute. It had just begun operating when we were looking, and it is truly outstanding. In a global study of 30 of the most technologically advanced hospitals in the world, Fortis Memorial Research Institute was ranked No 2 by topmastersinhealthcare.com and placed ahead of many other outstanding medical institutions in the world. Fortis Memorial spared no expense in construction, then equipped it with the most up-to-date surgical facilities available anywhere before finally going to the UK, Europe and The United States to find the most qualified surgeons, anaesthetists and other specialists to operate within this brand new hospital facility.
Fortis Memorial has been purpose built to cater for surgical cases from all over the world. Fully supported by their Government, Fortis Memorial has planned for 92% of it’s patients to be sourced from all corners of the world and 8% local private patients.
This makes Fortis Memorial truly unique in the world of medical services and facilities. International Surgery have an exclusive agreement with Fortis to provide surgical and medical treatment for our New Zealand patients.
