The King of Thailand will be awarding the prestigious Prince Mahidol prize this week (Jan 30) to three internationally-distinguished physicians for their lifetimes of dedicated service to improving health. Among the three: ICCIDD co-founder and longtime chairman Basil Hetzel of Australia. Basil's work has inspired a renewed commitment to iodizing salt around the world, protecting millions against mental retardation caused by IDD. The three award recipients are: Professor Basil Stuart Hetzel, Chairman Emeritus of the International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders, Australia, Professor Axel Ullrich, Director of Molecular Biology at the Max Planck Institution Biochemistry, Germany and Dr Sanduk Ruit, Medical Director of Tilganga Eye Centre, Nepal.
