Abstract
Geography and health are linked to each other such as where we are born, live, study and work all these directly influences our health experiences. The air we breathe, the food we eat and the health services we can access. Geographical investigations of the spatial variation of diseases provide important insights into what contributes to disease outcomes and options for prevention. This means that health is a resource to help an individual perform their function in society, rather than an end in itself. Healthy lifestyle allows us to live a full life with meaning and purpose. The social, built and natural environment affect our health and wellbeing in ways that are directly relevant to health policy. Health geography is a sub discipline of human geography, which deals with the interaction between people and the environment.
Keywords: Environment, Geography, Health Study, Health Policy, Lifestyle, Human Geography
Impact Statement
The present research offers valuable insights by examining the effect of geography change pattern on healthcare practices as well as on rural economy in the study region. Health geographers are concerned with the prevalence of different diseases along a range of spatial scales from a local to global view, and inspects the natural world, in all of its complexity, for correlations between diseases and locations. Promote the efficient use of economic resources. Improve clinical patient care, reducing potential errors that may occur. Speed up the flow of information, making it more reliable and complete. Allow healthcare professionals to make appropriate decisions.
