Fortis Clinique Darné, in Floréal is one of the
leader and oldest, yet
most modern medical centres in
Mauritius, combining traditions of dedicated personal care and modern
hi-tech facilities.
Founded in April 1953 by Dr François Darné, a highly respected surgeon, the clinic initially had a capacity of 12 rooms and one operating theatre.
In 1972, following Dr Darné's appointment by the Mauritian Government as Ambassador of Mauritius to France, the clinic was taken over by a private company owned by a group of leading sugar industry estates and other business interests, and changed its name to 'Medical & Surgical Centre Ltd'.
New operating theatres, consulting rooms, a Maternity and a day surgery were gradually introduced and services upgraded.This
clinic, which has since then reverted to its former name '
Clinique Darné', has been substantially renovated since March 1996 into the largest and most modern health care provider in
Mauritius at a cost of US$ 9 million (or 275 million
Mauritius Rupees).
It now offers the latest most advanced state-of-the art medical technology. The old clinic has been entirely pulled down and in its place, now stands an impressive, easily identifiable building on a site extending over 3 acres. We are recognized as professionals and we have agreement with all the big international insurances.
In Mauritius, only Fortis Clinique Darné has an agreement with ' Caisse des Francais a l'Etranger'.
Fortis Clinique Darné's philosophy is one of quality care to patients, coupled with the highest ethical and professional standards and a progressive pioneering spirit in medical technology.
