ABSTRACT: The purpose of the current study is the comparison and evaluation of the websites of all the public hospitals and private clinics in the region of Attica and the identification of possible problems and content omissions that may be present in order to be amended or improved. The population of the survey includes all public hospitals and general private and quasi clinics which operate within the borders of Attica region excluding specialist outpatient private clinics. The analysis showed that the web pages of the private clinics and public hospitals in the Attica basin have a similar outline mainly in terms of their content and their design and are mostly informative concerning their structure but are less informative for users in terms of decision making and procedures on matters relating to their health. Therefore it becomes clear that these websites need to be improved and redesigned enough so as to reach a level that will meet the citizens’ needs.
