Many of the foreign clinics have either a male or female gynaecologist on their team, so be sure to double check who your doctor is if you have a preference. Word of mouth is one of the best ways to find a doctor who’s right for you. If you want the contraceptive pill you’ll also need to have a check up with your local gynae, and many clinics are weary of giving pill prescriptions for longer than a few months (maximum) without conducting standard tests first.
