National Iodine
Deficiency Disorders Control Programme
(NIDDCP)
NIDDCP is a 100% CSS implemented in the
State through its IDD cell. Nagaland was declared as one of the IDD
endemic states in India with a prevalence rate of 33.4% through abase
line survey in the early 1960s. State IDD cell was established in 1987
and since then IEC activities for creating awareness on the consequences
of IDDs cell was established in 1987 and since then IEC activities for
creating awareness on the consequences of IDDs and also importance of
consuming iodised salt were conducted. Random survey conducted in the
recent past has recorded a prevalence rate of rate of only 1% in the
State showing a dramatic improvement of the IDD situation in the State.
GOAL
-
Achieve universal access of Iodized salt
-
Generate district- wise data on iodized salt consumption and
-
Reduction in the prevalence of iodine deficiency disorder in the
state to less then 10% by 2010.
Objectives:
- To conduct survey to identify magnitude of
problem in the State.
- To produce and supply of iodize salt in place
of common salt.
- To provide Health Education & Publicity (IEC)
- To undertake monitoring of the quality of
iodated salt assessing urinary iodine excretion pattern and
monitoring of Iodine deficiency disorder and
- To resurvey in goiter endemic areas after five
years continuous supply of iodize salt to access the impact of
control programme.
Achievement:
Random survey conducted has
shown prevalence rate of only 1% in the state which showed a dramatic
improvement of the IDD situation in the state.
