Introduction 
Geographic Information System (GIS) is computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing things that exist and events that happen around us. GIS helps us to solve problems such as locating hospitals or facility, solid waste management, emergence vehicle routing, earthquake disaster mapping, real estate business and many more. In recent years GIS software and hardware required to operate it have become much more affordable and easy to use; thus GIS is rapidly reaching a much wider user group and becoming more easily available as a practical aid for use at the community administrative level. The present training course shows how GIS can be applied for analyzing, managing and mapping health related database.

Objective
The main objective of the present course is to give basic ideas of GIS to the professionals who are involved in medical/health sectors. Many health related issues are directly associated with the social and natural phenomena. Such phenomena are highly complex. Country like Nepal has many social differentiation and spatial variations where types of diseases and nature of therapy might be controlled by such phenomena, which are highly essential to understand by the practitioners. To this point present course outline is designed to deliver very simple and introductory techniques of GIS to the professionals assuming no any prior geographic or advance computer background.
