Health

The Government of Seychelles is committed to providing quality health care to the people.  The public health system in Seychelles is decentralized. There are six hospitals in total along with  17 health centres located in the districts, which provide primary health care services such as family planning, ante and post-natal care, vaccination services, school health services, physiotherapy and dental treatment. The private sector is also playing a key role in improving access to healthcare.

The Government of Seychelles is encouraging private sector investment within the medical field. Between 2014 and 2017, the government has spent USD 8.5 million sending Seychellois overseas for further treatment. For the shrewd investor, capturing a portion of this market can be very lucrative.

Luxury medical tourism is an opportunistic avenue for private sector investment. With perfect year-round weather and stunning natural beauty, Seychelles is primed for such ventures. Studies show that 88% of medical travellers are willing to travel internationally for medical purposes. Strategically complimenting medical tourism with luxury hotels/ apartments is a recipe for success.
