Global Hygiene Symposium
The Global Hygiene Symposium aims to catalyse cross-disciplinary collaboration and pave the way for transformative solutions in global health. By doing so, we can expedite progress on hygiene as the cornerstone of well-being.
The first Global Hygiene Symposium, which took place in December 2023 in Singapore, brought together researchers, policymakers and practitioners to explore the potential benefits of closer collaboration and integrated approaches between the hygiene fields and within wider development goals.

Putting Hygiene on the Agenda
