May 25th is World Thyroid Day.

Important Days

In 2008, the 25th of May was named World Thyroid Day (WTD) by the European Thyroid Association (ETA) and, since 2010, the Day has been endorsed by our sister Associations, The American Thyroid Association (ATA), the Latin Thyroid Association (LATS), and the Asian Oceanic Thyroid Association (AOTA). WTD highlights the dedication of the endocrine community—clinicians, researchers, teachers, and nurses—to the thyroid and its diseases and underlines the strong and constant bond between us and our patients.


      The Day forms part of International Thyroid Awareness Week, supported by the global, non-profit network of patient organizations known as Thyroid Federation International (TFI).

      This year WTD is simultaneously dedicated to non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
