Emergency situation for foreigners

When planning your vacation or your expatriation, it is good to remember this old proverb, , "the shrewd person sees the danger and conceals himself, But the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences". 

When we arrive from abroad, it is often up to us to adapt to the local habits and customs, although the locals will naturally decide to do their part. And in Mauritius, the locals will always be there to help you. Even in an emergency.

We have seen tourists break a leg while surfing or other extreme sports. Some have had serious car accidents. In short, be careful, and foresighted, take into account these emergency numbers, which are useful numbers.
