Subject: Official Information request - Health checks on Ukrainians
entering New Zealand

 

Dear Ministry of Health,

Under the 2022 Special Ukraine Policy:

1) What health checks do Ukrainians entering New Zealand under this policy
undergo before entering the country?
2) Specifically, given Ukraine has a high number of Tuberculosis cases
than other countries in the world, what specific tests do Ukranians take
for this disease before entering New Zealand?
3) How are these health checks tracked / monitored to ensure those
entering the country actually go ahead to undergo these tests, either
before they arrive or on arrival?

Yours faithfully,

Dan
