Hi,

Of course you can get private healthcare in Mauritius...there are like a dozen of private clinics and hundreds of doctors with private practices!
You will need a healthcare plan.

I prefer private cliniques and doctors exclusively. Especially with my child who requires special attention.

However, if a real emergency occurs, as always, go to your nearest hospital or clinique. I am sure they can always transfer you to your hospital of choice once they got you stabilized.

Best is to have some sort of medical cover. This has come in handy a few times for us.
