COVID-19 has brought hygiene and, more specifically, the role it can play in our health, into sharp focus and further reinforced the fact that prevention is better than cure. However, despite hygiene being the preventive component of the global fight against infectious diseases, it has languished as a minority scientific and political interest for decades.
The Reckitt Global Hygiene Institute and Chatham House are convening experts within the global health community to develop reasoned positions on the role of upstream hygiene behaviours – and investment in them – as a component of a ‘new model’ of health system design that can be shared with global changemakers.
The event is by invitation only and under the CH Rule.
