burden of disease maps

Burden of disease maps are visual tools that show how much different health problems affect specific regions or populations. They use data like illness rates, disabilities, and deaths to highlight areas with the highest health challenges. These maps help health officials and policymakers identify where to focus resources, improve healthcare strategies, and track progress over time. By translating complex health information into clear visuals, burden of disease maps make it easier to understand the impact of various health issues across different areas.
