DID YOU KNOW: Goiter awareness week
Goiter Awareness Week is observed every fourth week of January by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 1188 signed on Dec. 11, 2006. Goiter, the abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland, and other signs of iodine deficiency were deemed a matter of national concern that needed public awareness. —MARIELLE MEDINA
