QGIS for Health

QGIS is a free, open source Geographic Information System that allows users to create, edit, visualize, analyze and publish geospatial information.  In the context of health, users can merge program data with GIS data (e.g., shapefiles, health facility locations, etc.) to spatially visualize and analyze program data.
