Doctor on Call in Mauritius: A Doctor at Your Door 24/7
Looking for a doctor on call in Mauritius? A fever climbing in the middle of the night, a sick child on a Sunday, an elderly parent who cannot travel, an emergency at your hotel during your holiday: when health cannot wait, you need a doctor who comes to you, fast.
Medecin a Domicile has been Mauritius’ trusted home doctor service since 2016. One number, 86121, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and a licensed doctor is dispatched to your home, hotel, or workplace, anywhere on the island.
The SOS Doctor Reflex, Mauritian Style
In many countries, calling an “SOS doctor” or an on-call doctor service is the natural reflex when you need medical help outside clinic hours. In Mauritius, that reflex exists too, and it has a name: Medecin a Domicile.
The way it works is simple and built for everyday urgencies: you call 86121 at any hour, our coordination centre assesses your situation, and the nearest available doctor is dispatched via our GPS-connected medical fleet. The doctor arrives with everything needed to examine you, make a diagnosis, and treat you on the spot.
Since 2016, more than 130,000 families across the island have trusted us. Our team counts over 30 in-house doctors, all registered with the Medical Council of Mauritius and ACLS-trained, and we hold a 4.9-star Google rating from more than 180 reviews.
When to Call an On-Call Doctor at Home
Our doctors handle the vast majority of medical situations that do not require hospital intensive care:
- High fever in adults, children, or babies
- Vomiting, diarrhoea, gastroenteritis, food poisoning
- Respiratory infections, cough, bronchitis, asthma attacks
- Urinary infections, skin infections, abscesses
- Abdominal pain, migraines, back and neck pain
- Dehydration requiring an IV drip at home
- Wounds needing cleaning, dressing, or stitches
- Elderly care and chronic condition follow-up (diabetes, hypertension)
- Fever with joint pain (dengue, chikungunya) during outbreak periods
- Urgent need for a medical certificate or prescription
For life-threatening emergencies (cardiac arrest, major respiratory distress, massive bleeding), call SAMU on 114. Our team can also dispatch an ambulance and provide medical transport: 86121 coordinates everything.
What the Doctor Can Do at Your Home
A visit from Medecin a Domicile is not a basic consultation. Our doctors arrive in equipped medical vehicles ready to diagnose and treat on the spot:
Diagnose. Blood pressure, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, temperature, 12-lead ECG, and blood samples collected at home and sent to our partner laboratories. You get real answers during the visit.
Treat. IV drips for dehydration, infection, and pain. Intramuscular injections. Nebuliser therapy for asthma and respiratory distress. Wound care and suturing. Prescriptions and renewals. Fever, vomiting, and pain management.
Follow up. Scheduled monthly visits for elderly patients and chronic conditions, with vital signs tracked over time and treatment adjusted.
Escalate. If your condition requires hospital care, the doctor tells you clearly and arranges the next step: ambulance, transfer, or medical escort if needed.
