Research
Human babies are born equally as human being. In spite of that, the
place of birth strongly influences the posterior life of the babies. The
disparity in their growth and health levels are produced by the birth
place on the earth. I can not connive this unreasonable disparity,
especially from the viewpoint of social justice.
Philosophy of my research is that all my efforts lead people in
developing countries to the world without the disparity of
health. Hoping the result of my research contributes to reduce the
disparity, I work in the field
of global
health
(international
health). The objectives of the discipline are to clarify to what
extend of the disparity of health is admissible, and how to control the
disparity.
Based on the context of medical international cooperation, I do
research
in spatial
epidemiology and health policy and planning, applying the theory,
methods, technologies
of geographic
information science as well as computational statistics and
simulation. [ read more... ]
