DoctorNDTV conducted a survey to gauge the reliability of Indian health websites. Almost three-fourths of the respondents voted for DoctorNDTV as the best Indian health website, with MedIndia getting only 12% of the votes, though this could partly be due to the fact that this poll was on DoctorNDTV.com.
When compared to foreign health websites, it was found that only 40% of the participants felt they were as good as the foreign ones while 45% felt that Indian websites were not as good. Seeking accurate health information is quite a tedious task so we asked the users if Indian health sites provided them with reliable information and here too 52% users felt that they did while 33% questioned the reliability of the information provided. The suggestions for improvement included better information (42%), more interactive features (37%) and more graphics (21%).
A small percentage of respondents also provided their opinions (available online), which ranged from the usual comments to some very interesting viewpoints.
