Health and Wellness Event 2025 at University of Mauritius

A joy to announce that the State House will relaunch its health track to the public during weekends as from 9 November 2025 – a way of contributing meaningfully to the spirit of the ongoing Health and Wellness Event 2025, organised by the University of Mauritius, the Open University of Mauritius, and various partner institutions and NGOs.

A laudable initiative that will help to bridge traditional and modern approaches to health and wellness, bringing people together to work towards a healthier and more resilient community.

In my address, I reiterated the importance of preventive healthcare, and of both individual and collective responsibility, as nearly 80% of patients in Mauritius suffer from non-communicable diseases.

In line with the philosophy that Prevention is better than Cure, together, we must focus on prevention through healthy habits, regular exercise, and holistic Wellness through the responsible use of traditional medicine- As One People, As One Nation.
