"Queenstown offers a comprehensive range of healthcare services to both residents and visitors. The town has a well-equipped hospital, the Lakes District Hospital, which provides emergency care, general medical services, maternity care, and some specialist services. There are also several general practice clinics throughout the town, offering routine check-ups, vaccinations, and minor surgery. For more specialized care, residents may need to travel to larger cities such as Dunedin or Invercargill. Queenstown also has a number of pharmacies, dental clinics, and physiotherapy centers. Mental health services are available, with several psychologists and counselors practicing in the area. The town is also home to a number of aged care facilities and home care services for the elderly. Overall, while Queenstown's healthcare services are generally of a high standard, the town's remote location can mean that some specialist services are not always immediately available," remarked another expat who made the move to Queenstown, New Zealand.
