The notion of “Place” is central to approaches to global health derived particularly from medical geography and social epidemiology. We can think of place in a numbers of ways and scales – Rural/Urban; Coastal/Inland; Spatial Access to service- distance (by foot), transport, infastructures and scales of neighbourhood, quartier, village, settlement and proximity to risks such as pollution. We can also think about place in terms of knowledge and decolonising the bodies or locales of knowledge that have dominated global health work.
