Today Health is an important aspect of human being. Health of the individual is closely related to the various geographical factors. Geographical factors are more influencing and they determine the health of individual and the community. Health is considered as a major determinant of happiness. The link between health and development is very close. Health can be considered as a factor of development. In the two decades preceding, the start of the new millennium, geography as a discipline witnessed an innovative revolution that completely reorganized the traditional boundaries of this field. Building upon its established strengths and embracing the novel ideas and perspectives brought about by the technological boom of the late 1980, geography has expanded into a more robust, recognized, marketable, unified and diversified scientific discipline (Gaile & willmott, 2003).
