Mapping disease incidence provides several benefits:
Visualizing Disease Distribution: By plotting disease cases on a map, it becomes easier to see patterns and clusters of disease occurrence. Identifying Hotspots: Areas with high disease incidence can be identified and prioritized for public health interventions. Resource Allocation: Understanding where diseases are most prevalent allows for the efficient allocation of resources such as vaccines, medications, and healthcare services. Monitoring and Surveillance: Continuous mapping helps in monitoring disease trends over time and assessing the effectiveness of control measures.
