The hospital is now poised for more major developments as it prepares new projects that are set to change the medical landscape of Mauritius and the African region.
“We are very proud to be celebrating the hospital’s fourth anniversary and we are grateful to the public for putting its trust in us. Apollo Bramwell Hospital has accomplished a lot in only four years, providing advanced medical care that was not previously available in Mauritius. We now have other new projects in the pipeline that will change the way medical care is delivered in the region,” said David Gray, Deputy Chairman of the organization.

The hospital was also the first to launch emergency motorbikes, with three new Harley-Davidson bikeswhich were an important addition to the hospital’s emergency services given the growing number of emergency cases treated at the hospital.
