Dunedin is also home to Otago University which has a Medical School and close tertiary link with the Dunedin Hospital. Dunedin offers an excellent lifestyle with a reasonable cost of living compared to most cities in New Zealand.

Both hospitals offer a full range of imaging modalities based on a digital RIS / PACS system.
