Abstract
Medical migration has become a global phenomenon, partly led by easier air
travel, economic factors and the expansion of medical technology. New Zealand has
gradually evolved from being ‘bicultural’ to a multicultural, multitextured
society. The movement of the Indian people, particularly Indian physicians, will
be the focus of this paper. In the last three decades, migration eligibility in
New Zealand has changed from countries of origin or ability to speak English, to
profession and skills. Despite struggling with its own issues, New Zealand has
proven to be a preferred destination for Indian medical graduates (IMGs). India is
widely recognised as the largest ‘donor country’ for doctors, many of whom go on
to establish themselves as leaders and prominent figures in their field. This
migration involves three parties: India as a donor country, New Zealand as a
recipient country and IMGs as the drivers of this process. Factors behind this
growing phenomenon are examined and recommendations are made so that all three
parties can benefit from it.
