Experiences and findings of a medical officer on Tristan da Cunha, February 1994-February 1995.
METHODS
A descriptive report on Tristan de Cunha, the most remote Inhabited island in the world, with emphasis on changes in health parameters since the eruption of the volcano in 1961 necessitated the evacuation of the entire island population to the UK.


RESULTS
Results of a retrospective 6-month consultation analysis are given as well as the results of screening programmes, particularly for risk factors for ischaemic heart disease.


RESULTS
The high prevalence of asthma among the islanders, possibly the highest in the world, and the management thereof are described.
