How Do Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Aid Epidemiologists?

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are essential for mapping disease outbreaks and understanding spatial relationships between environmental factors and health outcomes. GIS tools can visualize data on maps, making it easier to identify hotspots and allocate resources effectively. During the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, GIS was used to track the movement of infected individuals and design containment strategies.
