The provision of basic, universal, accessible and quality health care services, with emphasis on customer satisfaction is indispensable for a healthy and fit nation. Mauritius is one among the few countries, well-known for extending free health care facilities in public health institutions. Over the years, the healthcare sector in Mauritius has transformed itself by providing high-value activities such as hi-tech medicine, medical tourism, medical education and wellness. The challenge now is to meet the objective of universal health coverage through upgraded, renovated and new infrastructure, modern equipment, technologically-based and specialised medical services.
