劳工部门宣布了一项新的家庭医生贷款计划,以帮助医生和护士从业者在新西兰建立或购买社区拥有的一般做法。 Labour has announced a new Family Doctor Loan Scheme to help doctors and nurse practitioners establish or buy into community-owned general practices in New Zealand. 这项计划原定于2027年7月1日启动,每年提供高达50笔低息贷款,高达实践成本的90%,上限为500 000美元,头两年无息还款,10年内年利率为3%。 The plan, set to launch July 1, 2027, offers up to 50 low-interest loans annually—covering up to 90% of a practice’s cost, capped at $500,000—with interest-free repayments for the first two years and a 3% annual rate over 10 years. 贷款仅限于在无法获得护理的地区由业主经营的诊所,目的是解决GP短缺问题,支持退休从业者,并改善病人获得治疗的机会。 Loans are restricted to owner-operated clinics in areas lacking access to care, aiming to counter GP shortages, support retiring practitioners, and improve patient access. 这项倡议是工党更广泛的努力的一部分,旨在每年释放450万个预约,并加强初级医疗保健. The initiative is part of Labour’s broader effort to free up 4.5 million appointments yearly and strengthen primary healthcare.
