RESPONSE PAPER
Bill Davenhall in a TED talk on this issue wonders how it is possible that in our medical records does not appear the geographical history. The presenter makes an analogy between a train crash accident and the impact on his body of having a heart attack. In other words, where we have lived and worked during our life (Goldstone, 2018). I believe Bill Davenhall explains the fundamental issues which are important in the field of medical field.
In short, the fact that we live in one place or another, without a doubt, conditions our present and future health. Infant mortality is a demographic indicator that explains the figure of deaths of children in a population of all thousand listed live births, during the first year of their life (Rutstein, 1984). Without a doubt, it is one of the fundamental indicators of the health of the population (Davenhall, 2019). Health must be an issue of interest to all, and Bill Davenhall reviews the reasons for " Your health depends on where you live. “Like many other indicators, such as, for example, life expectancy, infant mortality is distributed unequally at different geographical scales, from the global to the regional (McMichael, & Beaglehole, 2000).
To conclude, we can find health inequalities between and within continents, countries, regions, cities and neighbourhoods. Therefore, it is very important to emphasize a concept, that "your health depends on where you live". In particular, infant mortality is a multifaceted and complex issue. It is related to a variety of issues from quality, maternal health and access to medicinal care, socioeconomic circumstances or also prevention and community health practices. Teach doctors the value of geographic information and the branch of research that is emerging: aeromedicine. It is proposed to make a record of places in the medical record, since by having this information, one can decide to change their lifestyle and avoid diseases or heart disease.
