The advances in the quantity and quality of Space information and the continuous growth of epidemiological problematic have given major impetuses to Landscape Epidemiology. In this frame, since 2001, Argentina Space Agency (CONAE) and National Health Minister (MSN) started working together to develop new tools for epidemiological surveillance, based on Space Information. In this work we present some examples of this activities developed in the Space Studies Institute Mario Gulich.
