Abstract

The Democratic Republic of Madagascar lies off the southeastern coast of Africa and ranks as the fourth largest island in the world. Average per capita yearly income is about $400 (US). In 1990 life expectancies at birth were 52 years for men and 55 years for women. Graduate medical education in Madagascar is modeled after the French system.
