Risk / Health Info for Mauritius

What jabs do I need for Mauritius?

The health requirements for Mauritius may seem complex, but our experts can advise you about taking care of yourself on your travels around the Indian Ocean.

Visitors to Mauritius should consider protecting themselves against two GI illnesses, typhoid and hepatitis A. These can be contracted from contaminated food and water.

A hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for some people. This includes the following groups:

  • frequent travellers
  • long-stay travellers

What healthcare facilities are there in Mauritius?

There is good private healthcare available in Mauritius, but you do need to be insured as it can be expensive and if you require complex treatment, you may have to be evacuated to Reunion or South Africa.

Is there malaria in Mauritius

There are no malarial mosquitoes in Mauritius – but you should avoid bites because cases of dengue fever are reported from time to time. The ministry of health may take a blood sample at the airport if you have come from a place where malaria is common. Discuss your itinerary with your healthcare advisor if you are concerned about this. You can find out more about avoiding mosquito bites on NHS Fit for Travel.

Other health concerns in Mauritius

There is a risk of stings from the deadly stonefish. Most hotels keep a stock of anti-venom. Stings are rare, but they can be fatal so you must seek urgent medical attention if you are stung.

Altitude in Mauritius
Parts of Mauritius are higher than 2,400m, and travellers planning to spend time at a high altitude should take steps to protect themselves against the potentially life-threatening acute mountain sickness. Your healthcare provider can help with this.
Dengue fever in Mauritius
There have been cases of the mosquito-borne virus dengue fever in Mauritius. Dengue fever is also known as breakbone fever because of the severe bone, joint and muscular pains it causes, in addition to flu-like fever and headache. There is no vaccine for dengue fever. Avoid mosquito bites by using insect repellents (50% DEET) and by wearing protective clothing. Sleeping with mosquito nets is also recommended.
Schistosomiasis in Mauritius
The schistosomiasis parasite enters humans through the skin during contact with fresh water. To prevent infection, avoid swimming or paddling in lakes and streams in Mauritius. This condition is also known as bilharzia.
