Dr Lisa Kaan
A true-blue Dunedinite, Lisa was born and educated in the city and has retained her close links with her network of family and friends here. She graduated from the University of Otago School of Medicine in 2011. An elective in Germany and the UK, did not entice her away and she returned to Dunedin to work at the emergency department at the hospital for several years before seeing the light and training to be a GP. Outside of medicine, gardening, reading and travel are keen interests.
Dr Tika Broto Suharjo
Born in Indonesia, I came to NZ at 16 straight after completing high school with the goal of studying medicine at Otago University. I was fortunate to have some connection to the South Island in that my oldest sister had the good sense to marry a Cantabrian Kiwi and I wanted to be close to her and his family.
General practice attracted me because I enjoy patients' stories and the continuity of care it offered. I like the variety and the support that one gets in a smaller workplace as opposed to big hospitals.
Outside of medicine I enjoy travelling, watching movies, socialising with my friends and see myself staying in Dunedin in the future -- although my mom in Solo, a small city in Central Java, would like me home
