Initiative 13 Hi-tech disease mapping |
||||||
| The latest computer technologies are used in HealthMap, the
WHO/UNICEF partnership for mapping infectious diseases. Through computer-generated
geographical display systems the prevalence of infectious diseases is mapped in relation
to the surrounding topography and health care infrastructure. This powerful technology
permits reconciling health problems with the needs in countries or at the regional or
global level. HealthMap's simplified training programmes permit transfer of mapping
technology to those countries most in need. - HealthMap information can be accessed at © World Health Organization 1999 |
