Abstract: Mauritius and China represent two diverse applications of community nursing principles by professionals. The Chinese scenario is one where the country boasts of adequate funding as well as the affluence of society. The community in major cities such as Guangzhou and Shanghai do not represent social health concerns as are in Mauritius. Mauritius is an African island nation that struggles with the many challenges of developing countries such as poverty and ignorance. Similarly, the healthcare system lacks adequate training to dispense amicable community nursing practices and principles. It is vital that as the people of Mauritius under the government efforts seek to improve the state of nursing in the country, that there be more training opportunities offered to the medical professionals in the country. The healthcare sector requires that there be more tools and facilities for doctors and nurses to dispense adequate care in community nursing centers. In China, concerns over outbreaks have been noted, and government policies continue to guide the general handling of medical emergencies in the country. In summary, the efforts taken by the Chinese government and the National Health Council (CHC) in China should be replicated in Mauritius as well.
