Step-by-Step: Planning Your Healthcare Journey in Mauritius
1. Research & Shortlist with Trusted Support
- Use the up-to-date MyHospitalNow hospital directory for Mauritius to compare public and private options.
- Leading private hospitals (Apollo Bramwell, Wellkin, Fortis Clinique Darné) are known for global-standard care, fast access, and strong international coordination—ideal for complex or planned procedures. Major public hospitals excel for emergency/urgent care and cost-effective surgery.
2. Send Records & Pre-Book Consultation
- Submit your reports, diagnostic scans, and specialist letters via email (in English or French). Expect prompt written care quotes, teleconsultation with your specialist, and a single coordinator for your trip.
3. Travel Logistics & Arrival
- Hospitals issue invitation letters for health/medical visas if needed, arrange recommended hotels or guesthouses, and pre-book interpreter/family liaison for arrivals.
- Both public and private centers facilitate insurance validation, payment explanations, and multilingual intake.
4. In-Hospital & Family Experience
- Enjoy private or semi-private rooms, daily doctor visits, and a mix of dietary/cultural care options. Recovery “add-ons” like spa/hotel convalescence and beach-side therapy are often available.
- On discharge, get printed and digital reports to share with your home doctor, plus ongoing WhatsApp/email aftercare for questions abroad.
