Notes about the Challenges Malnutrition and Hunger The expert panel examined the following solutions to this challenge: micronutrient supplementation (Vitamin A and Zinc), micronutrient fortification (iron and
salt iodization), biofortification (agricultural improvements through research and development), deworming (which also improves education), and nutritional education campaigns.
Micronutrient fortification (iron and
salt iodization) / 286 4.
Maternal multiple micronutrient supplementation, energy protein supplements, and calcium supplementation during pregnancy, along with
salt iodization, estimated to save 102,000 lives a year
Salt iodization programs, which many countries have implemented, have dramatically reduced the prevalence of iodine deficiency worldwide [2,3].
This new report on the UNICEF - GAIN partnership to control iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) documents 13 case studies - from Bangladesh to Ukraine - revealing successes and lessons learned in the design and implementation of
salt iodization programmes.
This report outlines priority areas for the monitoring of
salt iodization programs and population iodine status.
