Abstract
From several years, public health is one of the major problems faced by several countries including India. This requires proper Public Health Information System (PHIS) that is safe, reliable, and efficient. At present, most of the public-health-based information and management system are lacking the support of real-time data uploading, data visualization, data analysis, and decision-making. To overcome these issues, Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) became the promising approach through which the improvements can be made. SDI provides an environment in which users can share and access the geospatial data with the common set of policies, standards, and network protocols. The main objective of the present work is to conceptualize an SDI framework for public health using open-source resources so that users can access the health information easily from the developed system. Moreover, the concept presented in the paper can be applied onto the larger scale.
