If you’re planning to visit Mauritius this week and want to make a difference, head to City Mall in Quatre Bornes on April 25 for a community action day focused on health and solidarity. This initiative, led by the Rotary Club of Sodnac in collaboration with the National Blood Transfusion Centre and Eagle Cancer Clinic, brings together essential health services and opportunities for visitors to give back.
Why This Matters for Tourists
Even when you’re far from home, your health is a top priority. This open event welcomes everyone—locals and tourists alike—making it easy for visitors to access free health screenings, expert advice on cancer prevention, and early detection methods. If you’ve been considering a health check during your trip or want to support a good cause, this is a valuable and accessible opportunity.
What to Expect at the Event
- Free Health Check-ups: Get your basic health indicators checked on the spot.
- Cancer Prevention Guidance: Talk to professionals about cancer screening and prevention, and pick up complimentary vouchers for future screenings.
- Blood Donation Drive: The event will run a blood donation campaign, so you can help replenish the country’s reserves—a vital act, especially for travelers who want to give back to the local community.
Practical Advice for Visitors
No prior registration is needed. Just come down to City Mall on the day, whether you’re shopping, sightseeing, or specifically looking to participate. If you’re keen to donate blood, bring a valid photo ID and ensure you’ve had a light meal beforehand. If language is a concern, note that event staff are experienced in assisting both French and English speakers.
