Malaria is the ninth most significant cause of death and disability globally. There is a currently a renaissance commitment to reduce and eliminate this disease as part of a global effort to tackle diseases of poverty through the Millennium Development Goals. Spatial medical intelligence is central to the effective planning of malaria control. Forty years have passed since the cartography of malaria worldwide was taken seriously. MAP was founded in 2005 to fill this niche for the malaria control community at a global scale. Explore the MAP site for detailed malaria endemicity maps.

The Geography Faculty Development Alliance has created an online syllabus repository to facilitate course preparation and to share ideas across the discipline. The HMGSG board encourages our membership to share their health/medical geography course syllabi. The coordinator of the repository, Kate Swanson at San Diego State University, has created a category for health and medical geography.
