The GeoHealth research group is anchored at the Institute听of Global Health (Faculty of Medicine)听and tightly collaborates with听the Institute听for Environmental听Sciences. Go to the GeoHealth website to know more about our projects and publications.
GeoHealth听is about geospatial approaches applied听to health. Broadly defined, GeoHealth seeks to understand the relationships between people, location, environment, time and health. The GeoHealth research group is dedicated to research and development in Global Health using advanced geospatial modelling, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Spatial Data Infrastructures,听and spatial statistics. Many of our projects are at听the interface between Environmental Sciences and Health. In collaboration with听听and the听, we have developed and are maintaining the modelling software听, an open-source geospatial tool used in many low- and middle-income countries to model the physical accessibility of networks of health services.听We are working closely with UNFPA, UNICEF, The Global Fund听and the World Bank听to develop innovative methodologies to tackle many challenges linked to accessibility, universal health coverage, and service allocation efficiency.
