医学研究和对地球表面的研究，更好的是，地理学是相互联系的;它们的关系可以追溯到古代。地理信息系统的科学，并通过扩展，Geomatics工程属于一门学科，这是在全球范围内不断发展。该部门在医学/流行病学研究以及一般社会科学方面有许多应用。此外，这一学科可以作为医疗保健部门的决策工具，并有助于制定医疗保健部门的政策。利用地理信息系统解决公共卫生问题的情况呈指数增长，对了解和处理不同地理区域的卫生问题至关重要。近年来，各种信息技术服务和软件的使用使卫生专业人员能够更有效地工作。
Medical researches as well as the study of the Earth’s surface, better still, geography are interlinked with each other; their relationship dates from antiquity. The science of Geographic Information Systems and, by extension, Geomatics engineering belongs to a discipline which is constantly developing at a global level. This sector has many applications regarding medical / epidemiological research and generally, the social sciences. Furthermore, this discipline may act as a decision making tool in the healthcare sector and it might contribute to the formulation of policies into the healthcare sector. The use of GIS so as to solve public health issues has an exponential increase and has been vital to the understanding and treatment of health problems in different geographic areas. In recent years, the use of various information technology services and software has lead health professionals to work more effectively.
