Abstract

This chapter deals with the value, nature, concept, measures, indicators, institutions and health status in India. The concept of health includes the traditional biomedical, ecological, holistic and other universal concepts. There can be various approaches to study geography of health. These coincide with the paradigms in the evolution of health geography such as environmental deterministic, ecological, biomedical and systems approach. Further, the chapter presents a detailed account of evolution of medical geography to health geography. Following this, various measures and indicators of health are discussed. Health geography has broadened its horizons and has evolved to be trans-disciplinary. Detailed account of linkages between health geography and other science and social science disciplines is presented herewith. At national and international levels, many agencies are working in establishing good health. These include United Nations, multilateral development banks, foundations, NGOs, think tanks, human rights organizations, bilateral agencies and government agencies. The nature of work by them is listed. Additionally, a comprehensive overview of health status in India is presented.
