ABOUT US

Health Geography And System Thinking Group

This multidisciplinary research team encompasses researchers from various backgrounds and has strong international connections. With proficiency in global health, environmental health, disease prevention and control, health geography, geographic information systems, policy research, (syndromic) health surveillance and healthcare innovations, our group is the embodiment of interdisciplinary research. Health is not an isolated affair, but is rooted in our surroundings and everything that affects our circumstances. We therefore study health issues from a system perspective. This means that we study health at all levels ranging from geopolitical trends and regional environmental indicators and policies, to local health system functioning and its health implications on the population and individual level. In doing so, our team has a special focus on health geography and healthcare innovations.
