Abstract (English): Health geography has evolved from a biomedical perspective focused on the physical space of disease to a perspective that integrates social, economic, and territorial variables. This paper explores the theoretical and practical concepts and contributions of geography to public health, highlighting the role of territory as a structural determinant and describing specific applications. The potential of geographic information systems as a strategic tool for territorialized and equitable public health is specifically discussed. Geography offers a theoretical framework and methods that better address the social determinants and guide the design of interventions and public policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): La geografía de la salud ha evolucionado desde una mirada biomédica centrada en el espacio físico de la enfermedad, hacia una que integra variables sociales, económicas y territoriales. Se exploran conceptos y aportes teóricos prácticos de la geografía a la salud pública, destacando el rol del territorio como determinante estructural y describiendo aplicaciones concretas. Se discute el potencial de los sistemas de información geográfica como herramienta estratégica para una salud pública territorializada y equitativa. La geografía ofrece un marco teórico y métodos que permiten abordar de mejor manera los determinantes sociales y orientar el diseño de intervenciones y políticas públicas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
