Tēnā koe K.Rankin

 

Your request for information about Dr Byung Chan Kim has been transferred
from Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand to Te Kaunihera Rata o Aotearoa The
Medical Council of New Zealand (Council).

 

We have agreed to reply directly to you, keeping in mind that we are not
subject to the Official Information Act 1982 and nor are we a government
agency.

 

The best place to find the information you are looking for is our website
mcnz.org.nz, and in particular, the public register [1]Register of doctors
| Medical Council (mcnz.org.nz).  I note however, that a doctor by that
name does not appear on the register.
