About ICCIDD Home

The International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (ICCIDD) is the only international organization specifically constituted to promote the elimination of IDD. ICCIDD's multidisciplinary global network of experts consists of some 400 specialists from more than 82 countries. They include scientists in the medical and nutrition fields, public health administrators, development managers, technologists, communicators, economists, salt technologists and other industry experts. All of them are committed to assisting governments and international agencies in developing national programs for the virtual elimination of IDD as a public health problem.

ICCIDD was formed in 1986 with support from UNICEF, WHO and the Australian government in order to bridge the gap between available knowledge and its application in solving the problem of IDD for the millions at risk. ICCIDD has played a major role in communicating the IDD threat to decision makers of national governments and international agencies and to a wide variety of health professionals and planners.

By participating in public policy development and advocacy, program development, implementation and training, ICCIDD consultants assist countries with significant IDD problems to develop national IDD control programs, in cooperation with:

ICCIDD is a non-profit, non governmental organization (NGO) with official consultant status with WHO and the UN system and an official participant in the annual World Health Assembly.
