Hi, the same would apply for myself and family moving from Botswana. I did check with my local cover and I will be covered by them while on the island. So going this route. Once we are settled on the island, then I will be purchasing local medical cover. Comparing the island to what Botswana offers, both were very similar in costs.

Look into Med Aid MUA call Denise Laure 23057056086 flaure@mauritiusunion.mu.
Or look into Discovery Health Classic Core and speak to Pieter Steenkamp 27793447317 but discovery classic Core only covers hospital and chronic meds no savings or visits to Dr.

@myb003 do you possibly have and email or physical business address where Pieter Steenkamp can be contacted - does he work for Discovery or is he a broker ?

Foreigner Medal ins, I got quote from Global and Signa both $2-4000 pm, our SA Discovery is R4500pm (much cheaper).
