Sample Question• In the land of Deonandia, 14% of citizens have
tested positive for HIV, of which 7% have full blown AIDS. A further 21% of the total population suffer from clinical depression.
– (a) If you were the Minister of Health faced with only these statistics, which disease would you think constitutes the more serious problem, and why?

Sample Questions

My favourite quote…
• "Keep the company of those who seek the truth- run from those who have found it"
Václav Havel
