There is very little published information about goitre in Southern Rhodesia (Kelly and Sneddon, 1960; Dent and Strover, 1966), and of that available much is not quantitative and impressions rather than figures have been recorded. This survey was undertaken on behalf of the Department of Surgery, University College of Rhodesia, in conjunction with a leprosy survey of the same area, to obtain quantitative data on the incidence of goitre in the region.

A CAJM article on the population of people affected by goiter in the country.
