Abstract
This commentary is an introduction the special issue of Social Science and medicine composed of pieces of work presented at the International Medical Geography Symposium (IMGS) held in Angers, France in July 2017. Every two years, the symposium brings together health geographers and others interested in applying a spatial approach to their research to share findings and form new ideas about the progress of this exciting sub-discipline. 279 delegates from 30 countries attended this symposium hosted only for the second time outside the Anglo-Canadian-American triangle.
