Our Name
The name ‘Polygeia’ stems from the heart of what we aim to do: to provide policies (τὰ πολιτικά) that will drive better health (ὗγίεια).
The global aspect of our work is referenced in the alternative derivation; many countries (πολλή γαῖα).
Pronounced Poly〈g〉eia with a soft G, our name pertains to the modern Greek phrase “Poli Ygeia” - a wish for good health.
Indeed, our organisation is driven by our wish to contribute to the establishment of equitable access of excellent health across the globe.
