The Prime Minister of Mauritius, Navin Ramgoolam, recently expressed strong criticism towards those unwilling to engage in work, suggesting that they should consider retirement. This statement was made during an appearance on national television on August 10, at his office in Port-Louis.

Ramgoolam highlighted blockages within the Ministry of Health and Wellness, stating that « in the Ministry of Health, everyone is blocking everything. » His comments come in the context of a meeting with two Mauritian ophthalmologists living in the UK, who offered their assistance to support the country’s healthcare system.

The Prime Minister appears to want to encourage professionals to take on their responsibilities and actively contribute to improving the health sector, which faces various challenges. His call for retirement for those unwilling to work aims to promote greater involvement in public service efforts.

This stance raises questions about the motivation and commitment of workers in a crucial sector, especially during a crisis. Ramgoolam’s remarks could also be interpreted as a strong signal to public sector employees to engage more in their roles.
