A4.15 Medical panels (26/07/1999)

1. In some countries, medical and/or X-ray reports completed by local doctors and radiologists are unreliable, and, if necessary, NZIS branches and MFAT offices may select and require use of a medical panel of reputable registered medical practitioners and/or radiologists.
2. All applicants within such countries must have their medical and X-ray reports completed by a panel member.
3. A list of countries for which there are panel doctors is contained in Appendix 3. Applicants who are resident in one of these countries should consult the nearest branch of the NZIS for details of the appropriate panel doctor for their area.
