The World Wide Web (WWW) is one of the fastest growing technologies today. The content and design of websites has generally evolved over the years to create a cyberspace with greater information diversity as well as a wider spectrum of functionalities. The contribution of this paper lies primarily in the area of application of the WWW, specifically by South African health institutions. In this paper the researcher investigated how these institutions are utilizing the WWW and sought to find out whether as a provider of essential services to society, health organizations are taking advantage of the web by using its interactivity features. By developing a framework to enable the study of both content and interactivity features of these websites, the study was able to find out to what extent web technologies were being utilized and for what purposes. Findings are presented and recommendations made on gaps in possible utilizations of the web by health organizations, based on results from the study.
