Doctor at Home in Belle Mare & Flacq
Life in the east moves between the lagoon and the cane fields. Along the shore, Belle Mare and Palmar stretch out in long white beaches lined with large resorts and golf courses, while the jetty at Trou d'Eau Douce sends boats across to Île aux Cerfs throughout the day. Inland, Centre de Flacq is the busy market town of the east, where people from the surrounding villages come to shop, run errands and catch the bus. Further in, places such as Lalmatie, Bon Accueil and Camp de Masque are home to farming families, often with elderly relatives living close by.
Holidaymakers and village families rarely need the same thing, yet both gain from a doctor who comes to them. A guest with a fever does not want to spend the last days of a holiday searching for a clinic, and a grandmother in Brisée Verdière should not have to be driven into town for a routine blood-pressure check. Médecin à Domicile sends the nearest available doctor to your room, villa or family home at any hour, weekends and public holidays included, and our doctors are equally at ease in English, French and Mauritian Creole.
Where we visit in Belle Mare and the Flacq district
Our doctors cover the coast and the villages behind it: Belle Mare, Palmar, Poste de Flacq, Poste Lafayette, Trou d'Eau Douce, Quatre Cocos, Centre de Flacq, Bel Air Rivière Sèche, Lalmatie, Bon Accueil, Brisée Verdière, Camp de Masque and Grande Rivière Sud Est. Every request goes to a coordinator who can see where each of our 18 GPS-tracked medical vehicles is and picks the doctor closest to you. On the east coast, the length of the journey depends on where that doctor is at that moment, so you get an honest arrival estimate on the phone instead of a promise nobody could keep.
Beach days, golf and boat trips to Île aux Cerfs
Days on the east coast are spent outdoors: swimming off Belle Mare and Palmar, a round on one of the golf courses, or a speedboat or catamaran outing from Trou d'Eau Douce to Île aux Cerfs. The sun is strong and the trade winds can make a crossing choppy, so the usual complaints are sunburn, heat exhaustion, dehydration, seasickness that lingers after you are back on land, upset stomachs and cuts from coral or rocks. A home doctor can examine you back at your hotel or villa, treat the problem, give IV rehydration if it is needed and advise you on how much rest to take before the next outing.
Flacq families, farmers and elderly relatives
Inland, from Lalmatie to Camp de Masque, family life often revolves around an elderly parent, and a day of farm work leaves little time to queue at a clinic. We provide monthly visits to keep diabetes and blood pressure under control, blood collection and ECG at home, wound care for cuts picked up outdoors, flu vaccination before winter, and care for children with fevers or ear infections. Families covered by Eagle Insurance or Jubilee Insurance are seen without paying up front, while other insurers pay you back on a claim. When a relative is bedridden, we can also put a carer in place or set up palliative care at home.
A hotel doctor for Belle Mare and Palmar resorts
If you are staying in one of the resorts or villas along Belle Mare and Palmar, you can ask reception to call us or dial 86121 yourself. A doctor comes to your room, examines you in private and leaves you with an official medical report and invoice that international travel insurers accept, which makes your claim far simpler once you are home. Consultations take place in English or French, and children are seen as readily as adults. For hotels, our hotel doctor service means a single number to call for any guest who falls ill, whether it is midday or the middle of the night.
Serious emergencies in Flacq: call SAMU 114
When a life may be at risk, do not wait for a home visit. Chest pain, the signs of a stroke, severe breathlessness, a major accident or loss of consciousness all mean one thing: call SAMU on 114 at once. The nearest public hospital for the east is Flacq Hospital. We also run an ambulance service for transfers to a hospital or clinic. Our home doctors take care of what is urgent but not life-threatening: a child's high fever, vomiting that will not settle, a painful infection, a wound that needs stitches or a flare-up of a long-term illness.
