Análise da distribuição espacial de casos de cólera e sua relação com o saneamento do meio na cidade de Nampula (2016-2024)

Abstract

This research project analyzes the spatial distribution of cholera cases and their relationship with environmental sanitation in the city of Nampula. Cholera represents a serious challenge to public health, especially in areas where sanitation conditions are inadequate. In the city of Nampula, the recurrent occurrence of cholera cases has generated significant concerns, not only in relation to the health of the population, but also to the socioeconomic impact that the disease has on the most vulnerable communities. The research uses geoprocessing tools to map the incidence of cholera cases, correlating these data with variables related to sanitation, such as access to drinking water, adequate waste disposal and the presence of sewage systems. The analysis seeks to identify patterns of vulnerability that can be associated with inadequate sanitation conditions, allowing us to understand how the lack of essential services contributes to the spread of the disease. The expected results aim to form public policies and targeted interventions, with the aim of improving health and sanitation conditions in the City of Nampula, reducing the incidence of cholera and promoting a safer environment for the population. The research, therefore, contributes to the understanding of the interactions between health and sanitation, essential for disease prevention and sustainable development of the region(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
