According to the United Nations, sanitation is one of the basic human rights. Sanitation impacts the quality of human life, including in Islamic boarding schools - institutions that organized Islamic religious education. The Islamic boarding houses should meet the sanitation standard to create a conducive environment for the students. This study was conducted using a qualitative method to determine sanitation conditions of Islamic boarding school, the impact of sanitation on the school to students' health conditions, and government policies on sanitation problems faced by the boarding school. Data collection were conducted using in-depth interviews and literature studies, which then analyzed by reducing techniques and drawing conclusions. The study concluded that most Islamic boarding schools in various regions in Indonesia do not have sanitation that met health standards. These conditions have an impact on the health of the students. Many of them have been exposed to scabies, diarrhea, and there were students who have been affected by ARI. There are two government policies implemented to help Islamic boarding schools dealing with sanitation problems: boarding schools health program of the ministry of health and eco-pesantren program of the ministry of environment. However, not all Islamic boarding school have access to any one of these programs. Thus, the government needs to expand the coverage of the boarding school health program and eco-pesantren program. Menurut Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa sanitasi merupakan salah satu hak asasi manusia. Sanitasi memengaruhi kualitas hidup manusia, termasuk di pesantren yang merupakan institusi penyelenggaran pendidikan keagamaan Islam. Di pondok tempat tinggal santri seyogyanya memenuhi standar sanitasi agar santri dapat beraktivitas dengan nyaman sesuai dengan tuntunan Islam. Studi ini dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif untuk mengetahui kondisi sanitasi pesantren, dampak sanitasi pesantren terhadap kesehatan santri, dan kebijakan pemerintah terhadap masalah sanitasi yang dihadapi oleh pesantren. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam dan studi literatur, yang kemudian dianalisis dengan teknik reduksi dan penarikan kesimpulan. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa sebagian besar pesantren di berbagai wilayah di Indonesia belum memiliki sanitasi yang memenuhi syarat kesehatan. Kondisi sanitasi yang belum memenuhi syarat kesehatan tersebut memiliki dampak bagi kesehatan santri. Banyak santri yang pernah terkena skabies, diare, dan Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Akut (ISPA). Ada dua kebijakan pemerintah yang dilaksanakan untuk membantu pesantren keluar dari masalah sanitasi yang dihadapinya, yakni Pos Kesehatan Pesantren dari Kementerian Kesehatan dan eco-pesantren Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan. Namun, belum semua pesantren dapat mengakses salah satu kebijakan tersebut. Untuk itu, Pemerintah perlu meningkatkan jangkauan program pos kesehatan pesantren dan eco-pesantren.
