As recently as 2005, only one-third of the population of Tibet (34%) had access to iodized salt, despite IDD being endemic to the region.  A special Ministry of Health initiative has produced dramatic progress with 91.2% now having access according to a new survey reported in China Daily.


The goal is 95% by the end of 2011.
