The study seeks to reach a set of goals, starting with knowing the role that social 
networks play in obtaining medical information, through highlighting the nature 
of the medical content that the university student is looking for through his use 
of social networking sites, as well as the motives for using these sites, leading to 
the gratifications achieved from medical information. Extracted from social 
networks. 
To achieve this, we chose a sample consisting of students from the University of 
Ghardaia and designed a questionnaire containing questions. By answering 
them, we can know the extent to which students rely on social networks to 
obtain medical information, what is the nature of the medical content that the 
university student is looking for, and what are the gratifications achieved from 
that. Analyzing the answers through the use of automated media programs. 
We concluded that the study sample relies on social networks to obtain medical 
information, but it is not the first choice in relying on that, in addition to the fact 
that the student's confidence in the information provided is incomplete, but there 
are fulfilled gratifications represented in relying on these networks at a certain 
percentage.
