Health Geographic Information Management Model

Efforts have been made by policy makers, researchers and healthcare providers to identify, reduce and ultimately eliminate health disparities, yet inequities in access to preventive medicine and HIV/ AIDS healthcare continue to be an important concern in Southern Africa. This research seeks to develop a country scalable, geographic information management model that offers an opportunity to explore service accessibility, utilization and monitor inequities in resource distribution, providing capacity to implement targeted interventions that serve underserviced populations.
