Health & FM Minister Phungzathang Tonsing said iodine is an important element for human being.
Iodine deficiency in the body can cause several health problems.
He said the best way to prevent iodine deficiency in the body is to regularly take iodised food.
Dr O Ibomcha said that the day is observed to create awareness of the need to prevent iodine deficiency.
