LOS SISTEMAS DE INFORMACIÓN GEOGRÁFICA EN EPIDEMIOLOGÍA
Abstract
Los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) se hanvenido desarrollando por más de 20 años y aplicando en
diversas ramas de la ciencia. En el sector de la salud
pública, en particular en la Epidemiología, los SIG
ofrecen múltiples oportunidades, a la vez que brindan
una perspectiva espacial de las enfermedades,
constituyen una poderosa herramienta para facilitar los
procesos de análisis de información y de toma de
decisiones en los servicios de salud.
