Foreigner-friendly and English-speaking: the market is used to expats and permit holders, and leasing rules apply equally to foreigners
Furnished apartments and villas are widely available in the segments nomads target (north, west coast, Ebene/Port Louis)
Public system is free at the point of use in all government facilities and tax-funded (Beveridge model, state as single payer); over four decades of universal health coverage, second-highest UHC index in Africa
Strong, well-equipped private sector (C-Care/Clinique Darné, Wellkin, Clinique du Nord) with shorter waits and English/French-speaking, internationally trained staff

Watch out for

Many furnished expat lets fall outside the Landlord and Tenant Act 1999 (which excludes furnished/board lettings), so protection rests on the written contract and Civil Code — read the lease carefully
Budget a one-off agency commission (commonly one month's rent + 15% VAT) on top of the deposit and first month's rent
Non-citizens (including nomads/temporary residents and tourists) are billed for public-hospital services rather than treated free, so the free public system is not a practical fallback for short-term foreigners
Public specialist appointments can involve long waits (reportedly up to ~3 months) and crowded facilities, pushing most foreigners toward private care
