Medical Definition of Comoros
1. A group of indian ocean islands, the islands of great comoro, anjouan, mayotte, and moheli, lying between northeast mozambique and northwest madagascar. The capital is moroni. In 1914 they became a colony attached to madagascar administratively and were made a french overseas territory in 1947. Except for mayotte which remained french, comoros became an independent republic in 1975.
