Using GIS to prioritize vulnerable neighbourhoods

In our latest public health story map, we talk about how GIS can help public health practitioners allocate the right form of public health interventions to the right people.

You may or may not already know this, but a lot of data is made publicly available by the government. But data without context is just characters on a page. GIS brings it to life.

For program planning and evaluation, using maps to visualize the data can show exactly where your target population are, provide focus to your health promotion efforts, and allow you to easily share your findings with different stakeholders.

Check out the story map to see how it works.
