    AbstractThe surgical needs of Ethiopia are not met by traditionally trained surgeons. Ten recently registered doctors were trained for a two-month period in 20 selected lifesaving procedures. Evaluation of their skills one year after their course suggested that they were able to save lives and to use their skills either under supervision or alone. The training of physicians before their appointment to rural areas is a possible solution to the unacceptably high morbidity and mortality from surgical causes in rural Ethiopia.
