The geography of health has as its guiding axis issues related to human health and its relation with the environment that is inserted. In Brazil the Hygeia Magazine is the main artifice used for publications related to Medical Geography and Health Care. This research had as general objective to analyze the content of scientific production published in the Journal Hygeia from its creation in the year 2005 until 2017. For the accomplishment of the same one was chosen by the following procedures of information collection: a) survey of references and; b) documentary survey. As analysis procedures were performed a brief literature review document and content analysis. The findings highlight an unequal technical-scientific-informational development due to the privileges that certain regions receive to the detriment of others. The difference of investments to research centers end up being reflected in the scientific production and consequently in the number of publications.
