Global Iodine Deficiency Disorder Prevention Day : 21 October every year

October | Friday | 21, 2016 :: Global Iodine Deficiency Disorder Prevention Day : 21 October every year

Introduction

Global Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) Prevention Day is observed every year on 21 October. It seeks to generate awareness of the need for adequate iodine intake and highlights consequences of iodine deficiency. Iodine is a micro nutrient required for human growth and development. The iodine deficiency is a major public health problem across the world.

Iodine deficiency causes goiter, mental retardation, deaf-mutism, difficulties in standing/walking or stunting. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy may result into still births, abortions, deformed baby or cretinism. The government promotes universal consumption of iodised salt as an essential micronutrient intervention.

Status in Jharkhand

  • Household consumption of Iodised salt is 57% (Ministry of Women & Child Developments’ RSOC 2013-14 data)
  • Iodine deficiency is endemic in 7 districts -Sahebgunj, Godda, Dumka, Deoghar, Palamu, Gumla, Lohardaga and Ranchi
  • A recent National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) survey found that availability of low cost substandard salt in the market led to low consumption of Iodised salt by households

Issues

  • Entry of substandard/uniodised salt by road in Jharkhand. This is purchased by small traders and these consignments are tested and difficult to track.
  • Salt supplied from PDS is not regular and does not cover all BPL families (NIN Survey)
  • Legal sample collection of salt is a must for initiating any legal action. Medical Officer in Charge (MOICs) have been designated as Food Safety Officer (FSO) but sample collection of any food item including salt is neglected. There is a need for recruitment of designated FSOs for this purpose.

Action required

  • Regular monitoring of oidized salt transported by rail and road
  • Sensitization of salt traders at all 5 divisions in Jharkhand
  • On the spot salt sample collection and lab testing
  • Regular interdepartmental core group meeting at state & district level

State level Programmes

  • Sensitization workshop for officials from the departments of Health & Family Welfare; Women & Child Development; Human Resource Development; Food & Public Distribution; & Panchayat Raj on 19 October 2016.
  • Orientation of district and block officials as well as salt traders in Deoghar, Bokaro, Ranchi and East Singhbhum in October & November 2016
  • Salt sample collection campaign in all 24 District from 21 Oct – 21 Nov 2016 by ACMOs and FSOs.
  • Orientation of national & state trainers’ team (sahiya training cell) on micronutrients and the universal salt Iodization programme.
