Disease Geospatial Analysis

Disease geospatial analysis involves studying the locations and patterns of diseases in relation to geographic factors. It uses maps and data to identify where outbreaks occur, understand how diseases spread, and reveal associations with environmental or social conditions. By analyzing this spatial information, public health officials can pinpoint high-risk areas, allocate resources effectively, and implement targeted interventions. Ultimately, this approach enhances our ability to manage and prevent diseases by considering the influence of geography on health outcomes.
