WebSurveyResearch REPORTS MOST EUROPEAN PHYSICIANS NOW HAVE INTERNET ACCESS

New York, October 26, 2004: Unlike the United States where virtually all physicians have Internet access and e-mail, the European medical community is catching up to its U.S. counterpart, according to a recent survey by WebSurveyResearch, a New York-based healthcare research company that interviewed more than 3,000 physicians in Spain, Italy, France, Germany and Great Britain this summer.

The survey revealed that 85 percent of European physicians on average have Internet access. In Italy, 81 percent of physicians have Internet access. In France, the percentage is 84 percent. In Spain, it is 83 percent. In Germany, it is 89 percent, and in Great Britain, the number is 90 percent.

“This survey was conducted randomly as part of larger market research activities in these countries, and the results are much higher than we anticipated,” said Jerry Arbittier, WebSurveyResearch’s Managing Director.
