Abstract

This research aims to know the spatial distribution of deaths from hepatitis C, a type in Babil Governorate, for the purpose of giving a clear picture of the geographical reality of the disease, since the pathological phenomenon is a geographical phenomenon, and the place has a great impact on the variation of its existence. Knowing the places where the disease is concentrated and spread, and then the emergence and spread of the disease can be interpreted spatially, because the place contains natural and human factors that help provide factors for the emergence and spread of the disease. During the study of spatial and temporal variance, the highest seasonal percentage of deaths of types A and E was recorded during the summer months, while the highest rate of viral hepatitis disease type B and type C was recorded during the autumn in October. As for the human factors for people with hepatitis, it was found that the disease affects both sexes and appears in all age groups.
