PPT-GIS and Health Geography

Perspectives on health geography Why Geography and Health As Dr Trevor Dummer 2008 stated Geography and health are intrinsically linked Where we are born live study and work directly influences our health experiences the air we breathe the food we eat the viruses we are exposed to and the health services we can access The social built and natural environments affect our health and wellbeing in ways that are directly relevant to health policy Spatial location the geographic context of places and the connectedness between places plays a major role in shaping environmental risks as well as many other health effects.
