Prblems and factors that influence use of internet by the Sudanese doctors

ABSTRACT

The use of the Internet among the Sudanese doctors is a poorly studied research area. There is a feeling that the medical practice needs to undergo a major change due to the fast penetration of information technology in medicine and health care. This review discusses some problems facing our doctors such as lack of internet use skills, time and financial constrains, negative attitude and resistance to change working and information-seeking behavior, and difficulties facing rural doctors. Several actions are suggested to solve these problems and then to promote the use of Internet by the doctors
