Geographical Information System (GIS) in a Health Management Information System (HMIS) can be a powerful
tool to make health care delivery more effective and far more efficient. It includes database management,
planning, risk service area mapping, location identification, etc. One of the causes for this sudden surge of GIS
use in healthcare application is the spatial dependency of health related factors. The use of GIS helps capture,
store, combine, analyze and display data using Remote Sensing, topographical surveys, urban survey and town
planning, geology, hydrology, traffic and transport engineering, land use pattern, rainfall pattern, and drainage.

services available in Gangtok area, East Sikkim. Mapping of essential resources like road networks, locate the
