Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Health

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in health involves using mapping technology to analyze how geography affects the spread of tropical diseases. By overlaying data about disease cases, environmental factors, and population information on maps, researchers can identify patterns and hotspots. This helps public health officials target interventions, allocate resources effectively, and understand how factors like climate and urbanization contribute to disease outbreaks. Ultimately, GIS provides valuable insights for preventing and controlling tropical diseases in various regions.
