Mauritius Longevity Summit 2025

From November 13–15, 2025, Mauritius will host a gathering focused on health, prevention, and the science of aging—the Mauritius Longevity Summit 2025. This event brings together international researchers, local healthcare professionals, policymakers, business leaders, and citizens to explore how longevity science relates to health challenges in Mauritius. Why This Summit Matters Mauritius faces one of the world's highest rates of non-communicable diseases—diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. These conditions affect families and communities across the island. The Summit creates space for dialogue about how modern science might help address these challenges through earlier detection, prevention, and greater public awareness. The focus is on healthspan —the years lived in good health—as an important aspect of wellbeing. What the Summit Offers Over two and a half days, participants will engage with: Science and Research Sessions on aging clocks, cellular health, brain diseases, heart...

  By Nadine Adam, Co-Founder– Mauritius Longevity Summit & CEO, Chemtech Group Around the world, nations are being forced to confront a painful truth: our healthcare systems were built for acute disease, not for long life. The UK’s National Health Service , once the gold standard, is now described as being in “critical condition.” Lord Darzi’s recent report calls for radical reform — from hospital to community, analogue to digital, sickness to prevention . But the UK is not alone. Singapore has restructured its entire healthcare model around Healthier SG , moving care into the community and rewarding citizens for prevention. Denmark has already shifted 70% of hospital activity to primary care through technology and telemedicine. Ireland is investing in Healthy Ageing Centres and integrated care regions. Japan leads the world in super-ageing strategies, blending robotics, social care, and preventive policy. These nations are not merely fixing old systems — they are designi...

  By Nadine Adam, co-Founder – Mauritius Longevity Summit & CEO, Chemtech Group Something profound is happening in health policy across the world. Governments  are realising that treating disease is no longer enough. The old model, waiting for illness, reacting with hospitals, prescribing more drugs — is collapsing under its own weight. Costs are rising, populations are ageing, and yet outcomes are stalling. Even the world’s strongest systems, from the NHS  in the UK to Medicare in the US, are now admitting the truth: we cannot medicate  our way out of ageing. From Healthcare to Health Creation We are witnessing the birth of a new paradigm, one that sees health not as the absence of disease, but as the presence of capacity. Capacity to move, to think, to connect, to contribute. That capacity, what geroscientists call healthspan, is the new frontier of medicine. The real innovation of the coming decade will not be another pill or hospital,  but the creation ...
