Abstract
The Geography of Health : a Diary Becoming Clearer. Geography of health is frequently badly perceived both by the whole community of geographers and by epidemiologists. The recent development of Public Health gives to it an opportunity to assert its place as a geographical science. In order to succeed in this aim, Geography of health must clearly define its object in comparizon with Epidemiology and consequently increase its geographical and scientific nature.
