Old Brown Sequard Hospital is a hospital serving patients in the north-west of Mauritius, providing inpatient and outpatient medical care to residents and visitors.

Mauritius operates a dual healthcare system: a public network of government hospitals providing free care to all citizens and residents, and a growing private sector offering faster access and higher-quality facilities for those with health insurance or the means to pay out of pocket.

Government hospitals in Mauritius are managed by the Ministry of Health and Quality of Life. They provide free treatment including emergency care, surgery, and specialist consultations to all residents. Waiting times in government facilities can be long for non-emergency cases — many expats and privately insured patients use the private sector for routine and urgent care, reserving the public hospitals for life-threatening emergencies where the government hospitals perform very well.

The main government hospitals include the Dr A.G. Jeetoo Hospital (Port Louis), Candos Hospital (Quatre Bornes), Flacq Hospital (East), and Victoria Hospital (Candos) — the latter being the island's largest and most fully equipped public hospital. Specialist hospitals cover eyes, ENT, and chest conditions at dedicated facilities.

For medical emergencies in Mauritius, call 114 (ambulance). The SAMU (emergency medical service) operates 24/7. For non-life-threatening urgent care, private clinics and hospital emergency departments offer walk-in services with minimal waits.
