Medical insurance in Mauritius

I have just asked for a quote from MUA for a hospital plan with a large excess for a 66 and 69 year old. I would expect to get the quote over the next day or so. International plans seems to be very expensive about four times the cost of Discovery.

Hello everyone,

Everything is more expensive now. There's a new 5% tax on all insurance (medical, housing, vehicle etc) applicable as at January 2027. Please consider this when buying.

Hi, yes, I found that too. Expensive medical insurance will probably present the biggest obstacle to my relocating.

I'm 65 yrs old and dont even need medical insurance in RSA.

I am 67. However you do have access to the public hospitals, and I have heard some good reports. Out of hospital services are reasonable. We are currently deciding on whether to take out some local insurance for in hospital care or just pay as you go.
