Healthcare
in Mauritius
Mauritius has good healthcare for a developing nation — especially in the private sector. Most expats use private hospitals and clinics for the vast majority of their healthcare needs.
Public healthcare (free)
The public health system is free for all residents and citizens. It covers GP consultations, specialist referrals, emergency care, surgery, and inpatient stays — at no cost.
The main public hospitals include Dr A.G. Jeetoo Hospital (Port Louis), Victoria Hospital (Candos — largest on island), Flacq Hospital (east), Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital (Rose Belle — south), and SSRN Hospital (Pamplemousses — north).
Quality varies. Emergency and surgical care at the main public hospitals is generally good. However, waiting times for non-emergency appointments can be weeks or months, and the environment and amenities are noticeably below private sector standards.
Most expats use private for routine and urgent care; public hospitals for genuine emergencies where treatment is equivalent.
Private healthcare (paid)
Private hospitals and clinics offer same-day or next-day appointments, modern facilities, English-speaking staff, and a standard of care comparable to Western Europe — at significantly lower prices.
A private GP consultation costs MUR 1,000–2,000 (approx. €20–40). Specialist consultations MUR 2,000–5,000. Most procedures and treatments are 30–60% cheaper than equivalent UK or French costs.
Health insurance is essential for expats — covers private consultation, hospitalisation, and prescribed medication. MEDICOVER is the largest insurer with the widest clinic network. International policies (Cigna, Allianz, AXA, Bupa) are accepted at most private facilities.
The key private hospitals are Wellkin (Moka), Fortis Darné (Floréal), C-DAC (Floréal), and Clinique du Nord (Grand Baie).

🌍 International policies
Cigna, Allianz Care, AXA Global Healthcare, and Bupa International all offer worldwide coverage plans that include Mauritius. These are typically more expensive but provide evacuation cover and worldwide hospital access.
Good for digital nomads and frequently travelling expats. Check that your plan covers Mauritius as a country of residence, not just as a tourist destination.
