What is it?

  • What are the operational boundaries of health areas in a given district?
  • Where are the cities, villages, hamlets and other points of interest located and what are they called?
  • How many people are estimated to live in these settlements?
  • Are the buildings in a hard-to-reach village still inhabited

Geospatial context is crucial for planning public health interventions.

Changing circumstances and population movement due to conflicts, climate change or other factors can distort your understanding of the situation and jeopardize the success of your public health program.

We provide

Novel-t can help you leverage geospatial technologies to build your geospatial database and keep it up-to-date so that you can plan and target your public health interventions to areas which need it and avoid those which don’t.
