Section "A" is made up of five common general surgical conditions. This section includes Burns in adults, simple goitre, cancer of the Oesophagus and Breast as important malignant lesions of the gastrointestinal tract in the male and the mammary gland in the female, while Traumatic rupture of the Spleen is identified as one of the commonest indication for emergency abdominal surgery. Section "B" is composed of three urological conditions. Cancer of the urinary bladder and Benign prostatic hyperplasia are important urolo¬gical conditions affecting the adult population in particular males.
