Few changes have been recorded during the past 3 months regarding the numbers and types of web sites in Cyprus.

A total of 21 primary and secondary schools now have their own site (as compared to 20 identified during the last quarter and 2 during the first quarter). Of them, 3 belong to public schools and 18 to private.

The number of web sites belonging to high schools (colleges) and universities has remained unchanged since last quarter at 16. Of them, 3 are public and 13 are private.

The number of sites belonging to national ministries has remained unchanged as compared to January 2000, currently standing at 11.

The number of web sites developed by municipalities has also remained unchanged at 6 (namely, the municipalities of Nicosia, Limassol, Latsia, Strovolos, Paralimni and Ayia Napa). In addition, there are 3 sites developed by town authorities (Limassol Cyprus ; Pafos marathon ; Platres), raising the total number of the relevant sites to 9.

Unchanged since January 2000, 18 sites were identified which have been developed by semi-government organizations and authorities, such as the Agriculture Research Institute ; the Cyprus Ports Authority ; the Cyprus Tourism Organization ; the Department of Statistics and Research ; the Press and Information Office of Cyprus ; the Water Board of Limassol, etc.

As far as Hospital and Clinics are concerned, their number has increased from 6 in January 2000 to 8 at present. The only public hospital which has developed a web site is the Larnaca General Hospital. Nevertheless, there are 7 more sites developed by medical centers and institutes which are either semi-governmental or financially supported by the government : the Dental Implant Doctors in Cyprus ; the Gynecological Ultrasound Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology ; the Karaiskakion Foundation (transplant of bone marrow) ; and the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics ; the KF Neuclear Diagnostics centre ; the Harmony care ; and the Cyprus Fertility Centre.

It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned information was collected from the "Cypria.com" portal (reference to it was made in the January 2000 report) and from the "yiasou.com.cy" web index.
