What do we do?
HEAL BLOG
This week Professor Jason Corburn gave a presentation about his work in Nairobi, Kenya by discussing the importance of GIS mapping as an advocacy tool. Mapping can be used to depict a baseline for health equity. We also discussed the slums of Mukuru in Kenya which Marisa spoke about her time there this Summer. Pilot programs in specific communities were examples cited of situational analysis. By focusing on incremental change and making sure there is no "bulldozing," reframing issues around health equity appear more approachable. These projects spoke to the action piece of HEAL and sparked the interests of everyone in the room to find out how they can become more involved.
