It is based on British Common Law that is still in force in most of the
Commonwealth countries. Simply put, everything is allowed except when it is
formally restricted.
Everybody can examine you, make a diagnosis and give you a treatment but
cannot call himself a Registered Medical Doctor if not registered with the
official body and cannot give or prescribe restricted medications (like
antibiotics) that are limited to professionals who supposedly know how to
use them.
For example, I am allowed to use the titles Dr. and MD. because I do have a
bona fide MD from an overseas university (and 3 other doctorates/PhDs) even
though I am not registered as a conventional MD, which is clearly mentioned
in my waiting room.
Seen differently, it maintains the right of every person to seek help from
anyone that person chooses to; the patient is at the center here and has the
ultimate and final say on his treatment, no coercion ever allowed.

Yes, Dr. J. Rozencwajg,
As I wrote my answers I realised that I'm somehow being caught into
this frame of considering disease SEPARATE from the people, thanks for
reminding this!
I also wanted to ask you, actually, if you could provide some history
to the legislation in New Zealand that you've mentioned, how
practitioners all have equal(?) legal rights unless they are an
impostor. Was it so from the start? And if not, what were the arguments
that the people were putting forward to have it in place?
THanks!
Elena
