荷兰国家公共卫生与环境研究所（RIVM）致力于研究在可持续、安全和健康的环境中生活的健康人口。RIVM基于独立的科学研究追求这些目标，与委托客户合作，确定所需的研究并相应地进行研究，为政府、专业人士和公众提供建议，并分享知识。

RIVM就如何保持生活环境安全、清洁和健康向政府提出建议，分享有关安全和可持续环境的智能解决方案的知识。RIVM通过进行实地和实验室研究来收集、分析和解释传染病数据。在此过程中积极预防和控制传染病，与荷兰和国外的组织合作。RIVM调查良好的医疗保健和健康的生活方式的需求，评估哪些国家和地方卫生规划最有效。研究的重要任务之一是围产期筛查：检查婴儿在怀孕期间和出生后是否有可能的疾病。此外还有人口筛查计划，以预防或及早发现大肠癌、乳腺癌和宫颈癌等疾病。

The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) in the Netherlands is dedicated to studying healthy populations living in sustainable, safe and healthy environments. RIVM pursues these objectives based on independent scientific research, working with commissioning clients to identify needed research and conduct research accordingly, advising governments, professionals and the public, and sharing knowledge.

RIVM advises the government on how to keep the living environment safe, clean and healthy, sharing knowledge on smart solutions for a safe and sustainable environment. RIVM collects, analyzes, and interprets infectious disease data by conducting field and laboratory studies. In this process, it is active in the prevention and control of infectious diseases, in cooperation with organizations in the Netherlands and abroad. RIVM investigates the need for good health care and healthy lifestyles and assesses which national and local health programmes are most effective. One of the important tasks of the study was perinatal screening: checking babies for possible diseases during pregnancy and after birth. There are also population screening programmes to prevent or detect early diseases such as colorectal, breast and cervical cancer.
