Public Health Mapping

Public health mapping is a method used to visualize health-related data geographically, such as disease outbreaks or vaccination rates, on maps. It helps health professionals identify patterns, trends, and areas of concern within a community. By seeing how health issues are distributed across regions, they can allocate resources more effectively, develop targeted interventions, and monitor the impact of public health efforts. This approach makes complex data more accessible and actionable, ultimately aiding in better decision-making to improve community health outcomes.
