| Abstract | This paper examined the online presence of the health authorities and hospitals in the seven Emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the available online health services in this country. The study looked at the web presence of health authorities and then searched for the websites of hospitals in UAE using different sources. We calculated the number and percentages of hospitals that have online presence. Then we visited the website of each hospital to check if they offer online health services. Thus we were able to present quantitative findings of the extent of the web presence of health authorities, government and private hospitals, and also the types of online health services available in this country. We found that out of the 7 Emirates, only 2 have health authorities with online services and only 4 Emirates have hospitals that offer online health services. The online health services available in UAE are: Make an Inquiry, Book an Appointment, Find a Doctor and Ask a Doctor. We also provide at the end of this paper, the complete list of all hospitals in the UAE with an online presence with their website links since this information was not present collectively anywhere. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
