With so many web sites available on medical and health related information, it is impossible for any user to get the information he/she seek in the shortest possible time. To facilitate an easy access to the resources over the Internet, IMC has compiled a list of useful web sites for the users. The selection has not been based on any guidelines or criteria and NIC does not take the responsibility of the type of information available in these web sites. These have been classified as Resources for Health Professionals and Resources for Patients / Consumers. Internet Resources for Nursing and Allied field specialists have been listed separately. Links to Internet resources for the Medical / Health library professionals have also been compiled.
