Health Geography

Health geography is a subfield of geography that studies the distribution and variation of health, diseases, and healthcare services within geographic spaces. It integrates geography, public health, and social sciences to explore how different health issues are associated with geographic factors, such as environmental conditions, socioeconomic status, culture, and policies. The primary research areas include the spatial distribution of diseases, the relationship between the environment and health, the spatial accessibility of healthcare services, social health inequalities, epidemiology, and public health policies.
