LONDON, March 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Pharmaboardroom releases its new Mauritius Healthcare and Life Sciences Report 2016.

This report offers companies, investors, policymakers, and stakeholders crucial insight into this thriving, vibrant country and market.

This report is an authoritative assessment of one of Mauritius's leading industries. Mauritius is on its way to becoming:

"A Smart Island" - As part of its "Vision 2030" plan, Mauritius is moving away from its "sun and sand" image and seriously investing in smart cities, bioparks, higher education, and clinical research.

"A Bridge to Africa" - The politically stable and investment-friendly island is located off the east African coast, allowing easy access to the huge, untapped markets on the mainland for both MNCs and SMEs alike. Mauritius is also well connected with India and China in Asia.

"An Investment Paradise" - Income and corporate tax is set at 15 percent, the legal system is robust, the fiscal system has been simplified, and the current government has removed much needless red tape from the healthcare and life sciences industries after identifying it as a key growth driver.
