Geospatial analysis is crucial for several reasons: 1. Identifying Disease Clusters: It helps in detecting and analyzing clusters of diseases, which can indicate potential outbreaks. 2. Resource Allocation: It guides policymakers in efficiently allocating resources based on the geographical distribution of health needs. 3. Risk Factor Identification: By mapping health data, researchers can identify environmental and social risk factors associated with certain diseases. 4. Monitoring and Surveillance: It enhances public health surveillance by providing real-time data on disease spread.
