The Department of Nutrition and Food Safety of the World Health Organization (WHO) is hosting a virtual Expert Hour Series on Food Fortification, bringing together Member States, partners, technical experts, and global leaders in the field with the objective of knowledge sharing and exchange of experiences on food fortification.
Universal salt iodization (USI) is widely recognized as one of the most successful and cost-effective public health nutrition interventions globally and has contributed substantially to the reduction and elimination of iodine deficiency disorders in many countries. However, sustaining these achievements remains a challenge.
Join us for the first webinar of the WHO Expert Hour Series on Food Fortification. The webinar will feature expert perspectives and country experiences on salt iodization, including implementation, regulatory considerations, and key challenges in sustaining elimination efforts.
For technical questions and discussion, please join the WHO Food Fortification Community of Practice. Once you have joined, you can take part in discussions and submit your questions ahead of the webinar.
