Web is becoming a major source of health information also. Computer networks in general and the Internet in particular are likely to play more important roles in many aspects of medicine in the future. But for the healthcare professional and the health consumer, accessing accurate information on the web is not easy. There is a growing supply of medical resources for teaching and learning available on the world wide web. Most large medical centres have put information on public domain and some large organisations, such as the National Institutes of Health, have extensive databases and services that can be used by medical researchers, clinicians, and educators. This paper makes an effort to list the selected web recourses on medical sciences which are useful for learning, teaching, patient care and research activities of the medical institution.
