What prevents passing the law about prevention of iodine deficiency disorders in the country with iodine deficiency?
https://doi.org/10.14341/ket12424
Abstract
This time, the traditional column “De Gustibus” was prepared by three authors who began writing fragments of this article in late January – early February this year, once again discussing position of various departments and individuals about the development and adoption of the federal law “Prevention of iodine deficiency disorders in Russian Federation”. The fate of this unfortunate and necessary law reveals the shortcomings of education, culture, the level of scientific research, the state of prevention of non-communicable diseases, the social responsibility of business and many other problems that exist in our society. Self-interest and absurdity can become a downfall in which once again this necessary law will disappear.
