RGHI seeks to stimulate rigorous science and research, understand and enable behaviour changes, leverage health initiatives where hygiene science and behaviour can make a significant difference to people’s wellbeing and effect policy change at a local, national and international level.

Established in 2020 RGHI is focussed on plugging significant gaps in the health research space and improving access to information that will bridge epidemiology, public health, and behaviour change. As part of this aim RGHI is organising the Global Hygiene Symposium 2023 that will inform the global health agenda and stimulate the level discussion necessary to drive the adoption of better and more sustainable hygienic practises globally.
