World Thyroid Day

World Thyroid Day is observed every year on May 25 to educate people on thyroid diseases and be aware of the symptoms. ESE supports the awareness raising efforts of the European Thyroid Association and other partners active in this area.

Diseases of the thyroid gland are among the most abundant endocrine disorders worldwide, second only to diabetes. The two most common types of thyroid disorders are hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
