A doctor at your door in Flic en Flac and Tamarin, day or night, from Albion and Wolmar down to La Preneuse and Black River. Médecin à Domicile has looked after 80,000+ families since 2016.
The west coast has a rhythm of its own. Flic en Flac runs along one of the longest beaches on the island, backed by apartments, hotels and food stalls that stay busy until sunset. A little further south, Tamarin and La Preneuse look onto a bay where surfers wait for the swell and boats head out early to watch dolphins, while the salt pans glitter beside the road. Behind it all rise the forested slopes of the Black River Gorges. Life here is lived outdoors, in the sun, and that is precisely why small accidents and heat-related illness come up so often.
The people who live and stay here are just as varied. There are Mauritian families in Bambous, Albion and Petite Rivière, expatriates settled in the villas of Tamarin and Black River, and holidaymakers who change from one week to the next. The nearest public hospital, Victoria Hospital, is inland in Candos. For a child running a temperature, an older parent who finds car journeys hard or a visitor who does not know the island, a home visit from Médecin à Domicile is often the simplest way to see a doctor.
Our doctors visit homes, apartments, villas and hotels across this part of the Black River district: Flic en Flac and Wolmar along the beach, Albion and Petite Rivière to the north, Cascavelle, Médine and Bambous inland, then Tamarin, La Preneuse, Black River (Rivière Noire) and Grande Rivière Noire to the south. When you call, the coordinator checks the GPS positions of our 18 medical vehicles and sends the nearest available doctor. As in most regions of Mauritius, average arrival is within the hour, and you are given a realistic estimate on the phone before the doctor sets off.
On this coast, health problems often follow a day outdoors. Sunburn and dehydration after long hours on Flic en Flac beach, sea-urchin stings and coral cuts from the lagoon, and swimmer's ear after a surf session in Tamarin Bay are all typical. Hikers sometimes come back from the Black River Gorges with a twisted ankle or a sprained knee, and a holiday meal can end in gastro. Our doctors examine you, clean and dress wounds, place sutures when a cut needs them, and can give IV fluids when someone is too dehydrated to drink enough.
For people who live on the west coast all year, we are more than an emergency number. Our doctors carry out monthly visits for diabetes and high blood pressure, take blood samples and record ECGs at home, and give flu vaccinations, which saves older patients in Bambous, Albion or Petite Rivière a long trip inland. Parents can call us at night for a feverish toddler, and expat families appreciate that consultations can be held in English or French as easily as in Creole. Carers at home are available for elderly relatives who need daily help, and patients insured with Eagle Insurance or Jubilee Insurance have cashless visits.
Plenty of visitors to Flic en Flac and Tamarin rent a self-catering apartment or a villa instead of a hotel room, so there is no reception desk to turn to when someone falls ill. One call to 86121 is enough: a doctor comes to your room, villa or apartment, examines you there and explains the treatment in English or French. You receive an official medical report and an invoice that international travel insurers accept. And for a small follow-up question once you are back on the beach, a telemedicine consultation can save a second visit.
Some situations cannot wait for any home visit. If someone has chest pain, signs of a stroke, severe difficulty breathing, major trauma such as a bad fall on a hiking trail, or is unconscious, for instance after being pulled from the sea, call SAMU on 114 first. The nearest public hospital is Victoria Hospital in Candos. Médecin à Domicile also runs an ambulance service and can arrange a transfer to a hospital or clinic. For everything else, such as fever, infections, gastro, sprains, wounds or a child who is unwell, our doctors treat you where you are.

A daytime home visit, between 08:00 and 18:00, costs Rs 3 000. A night visit, between 18:00 and 08:00, costs Rs 4 000. Patients insured with Eagle Insurance or Jubilee Insurance can have a cashless visit; with other insurers, you pay and then claim reimbursement. Holidaymakers receive an official medical report and an invoice that international travel insurers accept.
Our average arrival time is within the hour in most regions of Mauritius. When you call, the coordinator finds the nearest available doctor among our 18 GPS-tracked vehicles and gives you a realistic estimate for your exact address, whether that is a beach apartment in Flic en Flac or a villa in Tamarin. Traffic on the coastal road and the number of calls at that moment can change the timing, which is why the estimate is always confirmed on the phone.
We cover the west coast between Albion and Grande Rivière Noire and the villages just inland: Flic en Flac, Wolmar, Albion, Cascavelle, Médine, Bambous, Tamarin, La Preneuse, Black River (Rivière Noire), Grande Rivière Noire and Petite Rivière. Our doctors visit houses, apartment blocks, villas, guesthouses and hotels. If you are staying in a gated residence, tell the coordinator how the doctor should get in.
Yes. Sea-urchin stings, coral cuts and swimmer’s ear are typical reasons for a call on the west coast. The doctor examines the area, removes visible fragments where possible, cleans and dresses the wound and puts in sutures if a cut is deep. An ear infection from long hours in the water can be treated during the same visit. If the wound becomes red, swollen or more painful over the following days, call us again.
Call SAMU on 114 first if someone has chest pain, signs of a stroke, severe difficulty breathing, major trauma or has lost consciousness. Victoria Hospital in Candos is the closest public hospital to the west coast. If needed, our own ambulance service can organise the transfer to a hospital or clinic. A home doctor is the right choice for problems that are not life-threatening, not for these situations.
Yes. Besides urgent visits, families on the west coast can rely on us for planned care: monthly visits for diabetes or high blood pressure, blood collection and ECG at home, flu vaccination, and check-ups for children. Our doctors speak English, French and Mauritian Creole, and telemedicine is available for simple follow-up questions. Visits are cashless for patients insured with Eagle Insurance or Jubilee Insurance.
