Survey shows continuing challenge in Ghana |
| Posted by Administrator (admin) on [PUBL_DATE] |
A Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey conducted in Ghana by the Statistical Service of Ghana and the Ghana Health Service has found disturbing, continuing problems in achieving USI. A story yesterday on allAfrica.com reported:
On salt iodization, the survey indicated that although 85% of consumers are aware of the importance of using iodised salt, 50.8% of households actually use it and that out of the households that use iodized salt, only 32.4 of their salt was found adequately iodized. "Ghana aims at achieving 90% of households consuming iodized salt by the end of 2010 and sustaining the level thereafter. Ghana's challenges are mainly on the supply side as comsumer awareness on iodized salt is already 85%."
Great efforts and great progress have been achieved, but the IDD problem is far from resolved.
