International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (ICCIDD)

The International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (ICCIDD) is a global organization dedicated to eliminating iodine deficiency, which can cause health problems like goiter and learning difficulties. It works with governments, health groups, and researchers to promote the use of iodized salt and other strategies to ensure people get enough iodine through their diet. By raising awareness, providing guidance, and monitoring progress, ICCIDD aims to improve overall health and cognitive development worldwide, especially in vulnerable populations.
