This document discusses using geographic information systems (GIS) to help the medical industry address disease outbreaks and epidemics. It proposes:
1) Mapping areas prone to diseases based on natural and man-made factors to categorize outbreak risk.
2) Feeding location data on disease prevalence, access to treatment, and more to identify solutions like mobile clinics.
3) Governments could then prepare medical resources to better target at-risk areas and mitigate future outbreaks.

The Geographic Information Systems categories according to the level of
have been very helpful to us in various need of mitigation. fields such as Governmental, After categorization, we can feed Environment, Advertising, Insurance, all the related data for individual Technology, Medical etc. The Medical categories including cause of Industry has made great use of GIS. disease, source of disease, no. of Medical issues are dealt on a larger scale people that may or are suffering in case of some serious diseases or from disease, different no. of epidemics. We can virtually map the people at different stages of that data using GIS and try and find out the particular disease, how many major outbreak areas and can take people have / do not have access to immediate actions for mitigating the the treatment etc. epidemic situation. Here are enlisted According to the information fed some of the points in which we can see in the system Government can find GIS as an effective tool for Medical out multiple solutions for the Industry: problems such as providing We can map the areas of our medical facilities at low cost to country which are prone to those who do not have access to it, diseases or epidemics caused due setting up medical camps where to man-made factors( diseases there is situation of epidemics, caused due to pollution, due to remaining prepared with all the unhygienic living conditions, facilities in advance if diseases due consumption of harmful food to natural or man-made factors are materials, etc.) or natural forecasted to occur in near future, factors( Tsunami, Fire, etc. Earthquakes, Draughts, Famines, Global-Warming etc.) . We can identify such areas and make their division into different

Here Surat as a minor medical facilities flood affected city is taken as an - Hospitals, clinics, research example: centres, laboratories, chemist shops etc. Population of Surat area wise - No. of people each major and - No. of people staying in minor medical centres are hygienic/unhygienic living catering to. conditions Identification of people - Categorization of unhygienic suffering through various living conditions into various diseases sub-categories such as slums, - Categorization of diseases poor or old degraded buildings, according to man-made areas with lack of basic factors and natural factors. infrastructural facilities such as - Identifying people suffering open drains, open garbage bins from various diseases in in neighbourhoods etc. different areas of Surat. Land-use pattern of Surat - Identification of different no. Identification of flood prone of people at different stages areas of Surat of that disease. - Mapping of low lying areas - Source and Cause of diseases and elevated areas taking people are suffering through. into reference countour Suggesting potential locations levels of Surat. where additional medical Provision of medical facilities facilities need to be setup - No.of people having access - Categorizating them into to medical facilities vs no. of major and minor medical people not having access to facilities, no. of people it medical facilities will cater to. - No. of major and minor medical facilities available neighbourhood wise. - Types of medical facilities available at particular centre such as Cardic special hospital, Neuro special hospitals etc. Remote Sensing- Business ideas using GIS as a tool 2
