Health mapping

Health mapping is a process that visualizes information about health and healthcare within a specific area, often using maps and data to identify patterns, resources, and gaps. It helps public health officials, communities, and organizations see where health issues are concentrated, where services are available, and where improvements are needed. By combining geographic and health data, health mapping supports better decision-making, targeted interventions, and resource allocation to promote overall community well-being. It essentially provides a visual overview of health-related factors to guide effective planning and action.
