IN MAURITIUS: THE CASE FOR
VALUE-BASED CARE
NADINE ADAM
CEO OF MEDTECH MAURITIUS
Mauritius has made remarkable strides in
improving access to quality healthcare. Our
healthcare system, with its blend of government
hospitals, private clinics, and dedicated
professionals, has much to be proud of.
However, as healthcare continues to evolve
globally, it’s essential that we in Mauritius
explore new models that can further enhance
patient outcomes and ensure the sustainability
of our healthcare system. One such model is
value-based care.

UNDERSTANDING THE CURRENT HEALTHCARE
MODEL WITH NADINE ADAM MEDTECH
The traditional fee-for-service model that many of us are familiar with has
been instrumental in expanding access to medical services. Under this
system, healthcare providers are compensated based on the volume of
services they deliver, such as consultations, tests, and procedures. In this
blog Nadine Adam Medtech says that This model has enabled rapid
growth and has ensured that patients can receive the care they need
when they need it.
However, as our healthcare needs become more complex—particularly
with the rise of chronic diseases—this model can sometimes lead to
inefficiencies, such as unnecessary tests or hospital readmissions, which
drive up costs without necessarily improving patient health. As we look to
the future, it’s crucial that we consider models that align healthcare
delivery with patient outcomes.

WHY CONSIDER VALUE-BASED CARE?
Value-based care offers an evolution rather than a replacement of our current
system. It emphasizes rewarding healthcare providers not just for the quantity of
services delivered but for the quality and outcomes of those services.
Here’s why this shift could be beneficial for Mauritius:
• Enhanced Patient Outcomes: By focusing on long-term health and wellness, value-based care
encourages a more personalized approach, where treatments and interventions are tailored to
individual patient needs. This can lead to better management of chronic diseases, fewer hospital
visits, and overall improved health for patients.
• Sustainable Healthcare: With healthcare costs rising globally, finding ways to deliver care more
efficiently is critical. Value-based care helps reduce unnecessary procedures and hospitalizations,
which can lower costs for both patients and the healthcare system, ensuring that resources are
used where they have the most impact.
• Empowering Healthcare Professionals: Value-based care does not diminish the role of
healthcare providers; rather, it supports them by incentivizing collaboration and continuous
improvement in patient care. It encourages teamwork among doctors, nurses, and other healthcare
professionals, ensuring that each patient receives the most effective treatment.

ILLUSTRATING VALUE-BASED
CARE IN PRACTICE
To better understand how value-based care could be implemented in
Mauritius, let’s explore a few examples from different medical specialties:
Cardiology: Comprehensive Heart Failure Management
Current Challenges: Heart failure patients often experience fragmented care,
leading to frequent hospital readmissions and a decline in quality of life due
to poorly managed symptoms and complications.
Value-Based Solution: A comprehensive heart failure management program
integrates a multidisciplinary team, including cardiologists, primary care
physicians, nurses, dietitians, and social workers. Nadine Adam Medtech says,
The team provides coordinated care tailored to each patient’s needs,
including regular follow-ups, medication management, dietary counseling,
and exercise programs. Advanced remote monitoring devices track the
patient’s vitals, enabling early intervention when issues arise.
Impact: This approach has resulted in a significant reduction in hospital
readmissions, improved medication adherence, and enhanced patient quality
of life. Patients report feeling more supported and better able to manage
their condition at home, reducing the burden on the healthcare system and
improving long-term outcomes.

ORTHOPEDICS: ENHANCED RECOVERY AFTER SURGERY
(ERAS) FOR JOINT REPLACEMENT
CURRENT CHALLENGES:
VALUE-BASED SOLUTION:
Traditional joint replacement surgeries often have varied outcomes due to inconsistencies
in pre-operative preparation, surgical techniques, and post-operative care, leading to
complications, prolonged recovery times, and readmissions.
The implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols for joint
replacement surgeries standardizes best practices across the entire care continuum,
including pre-operative optimization, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and
structured post-operative rehabilitation. Bundled payments ensure all aspects of care,
from pre-surgery consultations to post-operative recovery, are covered, incentivizing
healthcare providers to focus on quality and efficiency.
IMPACT:
ERAS protocols can reduce hospital stays, decrease the rate of post-operative
complications, and improve overall patient satisfaction. Patients recover faster and with
fewer complications, reducing the long-term costs associated with joint replacement
surgeries.

OPHTHALMOLOGY: INTEGRATED CARE
PATHWAYS FOR DIABETIC RETINOPATHY
Current Challenges: Diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness, is often detected too late
due to fragmented care and lack of regular screening, especially among high-risk populations.
Value-Based Solution: An integrated care pathway for diabetic retinopathy focuses on early
detection, standardized treatment protocols, and continuous follow-up. Primary care providers,
ophthalmologists, and diabetes specialists collaborate to ensure that patients receive regular eye
screenings as part of their diabetes management plan. Those diagnosed with retinopathy are
provided with personalized treatment plans, including laser therapy or injections, and are
monitored closely to prevent disease progression.
Impact: This integrated approach has led to earlier detection of diabetic retinopathy, reducing the
incidence of severe vision loss. Patient satisfaction increases as they receive consistent,
coordinated care, and the overall cost burden on the healthcare system is reduced by preventing
advanced stages of the disease that require more intensive and expensive treatments.

LEARNING FROM GLOBAL LEADERS
Countries like the United States, Sweden, and the Netherlands
have been at the forefront of adopting value-based care
principles. The U.S. has implemented extensive value-based
programs in Medicare, while Sweden and the Netherlands have
focused on patient-centered, outcomes-based care models.
These countries have seen improvements in patient outcomes
and cost efficiencies, providing a compelling case for why
Mauritius could benefit from a similar approach.

MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER
According to Nadine Adam CEO of Medtech Mauritius (Chemtech Medical Changes
to Medtech), Adopting value-based care in Mauritius will be a collaborative journey.
It’s not about abandoning the strengths of our current system but about building on
them to create a more resilient and patient-centered healthcare environment.
Government hospitals, private clinics, and doctors will all play a crucial role in this
transition. By working together, we can develop the infrastructure, training, and
policies needed to make value-based care a reality.
At Medtech Mauritius, we are committed to supporting this transition by leveraging
our 30-year market leadership and expertise as the most experienced medical
equipment supplier to medical professionals in Mauritius, Seychelles, and
