%X Medical institutions in the tourist regions of Tunisia have been visited and evaluated. The objective was to integrate the clinics into the TEMOS-network and, therefore, to improve the supply of tourists in Tunisia. The TEMOS-network has been developed within the TEMOS-project (Telemedicine for the Mobile Society) which involves several international medical institutions which are cooperating with each other. Those clinics have to satisfy the TEMOS quality criteria and obtain ratings in several evaluated fields such as hygiene, knowledge of foreign languages, infrastructure and medical departments that range from "bad" to "very good". The tunisian health system has been analysed and it was found out that there are two sectors of the health supply: the private and the public sectors. The private sector is especially  concentrated in the big cities and along the tunisian coast and offers european standards. The visited and analysed private medical institutions satisfy the TEMOS quality criteria in every evaluated field. The public sector covers the whole country and is submitted to the tunisian ministery of health. The visited public hospital did worse and obtained bad grades, especially in the fields hygiene and infrastructure. However, the medical supply obtained a good grade and the hospital posseses an own laboratory and an own blood bank. Therefore, a public hospital is favorable for polytrauma patients. The medical supply of tourists in Tunisia is, at least in the coast regions and the big cities, assured. Furtheremore, the private clinical institutions have several agreements  with international assistance corporations. The supply of tourists in the rural regions of Tunisia could be difficult. None of the attended institutions could_be integrated in the TEMOS-project. An improvement of the supply of tourists could be attained if the clinics would integrate the TEMOS-network and profit by the telemedical technology.
