The tropical island of Mauritius, located off the coast of Southern Africa, has greatly improved its health care system, especially for frontline services and procedures such as cardiac surgery. But the post-acute neurorehabilitation care is still problematic, much to the detriment of disabled patients, their families, and Mauritian society overall. Comparisons with neurorehabilitation care in the United Kingdom suggest the scale of the problem in terms of uncoordinated medical teams, limited follow-ups, lack of expertise, and cultural stigma. This article assesses the needs of the neurologic rehabilitation segment in Mauritian health care and submits a set of policy recommendations addressing what medical professionals, hospitals, government officials, and other organizations can do to improve the neurologic rehabilitation infrastructure for Mauritian patients.
毛里求斯是位于非洲南部海岸的热带岛屿，其医疗保健系统得到了极大改善，尤其是在心脏手术等一线服务和程序方面。但是，急性后期神经康复护理仍然存在问题，这对残疾患者、他们的家庭以及整个毛里求斯社会造成了极大的损害。与英国的神经康复护理进行比较，可以发现医疗团队协作不畅、随访有限、专业知识不足以及文化耻辱感等问题的严重程度。本文评估了毛里求斯医疗保健中神经康复部分的需求，并提出了一系列政策建议，为医疗专业人员、医院、政府官员和其他组织如何改善毛里求斯患者的神经康复基础设施提供了参考。
