» Hospitals & Clinics

The locations of hospitals and clinics are very critical to provide easy accessibility to the public. Having many hospitals within the same region may also create a health hazard to the public living in the area. In addition to that, monitoring and managing disease outbreaks and health disasters are modeled within GIS. Ambulance tracking and navigation is also possible in GIS. Studies of epidemiology within GIS can trace health issues to geographical locations.

Even the human body is in itself geography. A model of the human body can be created within GIS for analyzing blood circulation, mapping the progress of cancerous cells, analyzing neurological networks, analyzing MRI’s and CT scans, and others. Everything in this world is a geography. Spatial dimensions are always in existence, have it be micro-cosmology, such as atoms, molecules, cells; or macro-cosmology, as in galaxies, stars, planets, and others. GIS is a useful tool to model the atom, or model the universe. G&L is committed to ensure that this technology is used in your field of specialization to enhance the quality of life and the evolution of the human understanding of the world.

» Public Health

In order to properly plan, manage and monitor any public health programme, it is vital that up-to-date, relevant information is available to decision-makers at all levels of the public health system. As every disease problem or health event requires a different response and policy decision, information must be available that reflects a realistic assessment of the situation at local, national and global levels. This must be done with best available data and taking into consideration disease transmission dynamics, demographics, availability of and accessibility to existing health and social services as well as other geographic and environmental features.

GIS provides ideal platforms for the convergence of disease-specific information and their analyses in relation to population settlements, surrounding social and health services and the natural environment. They are highly suitable for analysing epidemiological data, revealing trends and interrelationships that would be more difficult to discover in tabular format. Moreover GIS allows policy makers to easliy visualize problems in relation to existing health and social services and the natural environment and so more effectively target resources.
