Medical Repatriation between Mauritius and France
An accident or medical emergency during a holiday in Mauritius: we organize the medical transport back to France end to end.
Mauritius is a leading holiday and honeymoon destination in the Indian Ocean, with a French-speaking population and frequent flights from France. Repatriations typically follow diving or water-sports accidents, road accidents, or an acute illness during a stay, when care must continue closer to home. The route is a very long haul.
Our coordinating physician assesses each case together with the on-site medical team to determine the equipment required and the transport mode best suited to the patient's condition.
Common situations on this route
- Accident or acute illness during a holiday in a seaside resort

Formalities & coordination
This is a very long-haul route: the air ambulance generally needs a long-range jet, a technical stop is usually required, and the routing and the crew duty time are planned before departure, along with the overflight and landing clearances.
Our team can work directly with the patient's insurer or assistance company to arrange fast coverage — see our dedicated page for insurers and assistance companies.
Customs and consular formalities vary case by case and change over time. Our team confirms the exact documents required from the first contact.
