On Medical Matters this evening we talk about  International Thyroid Awareness Week (ITAW) is celebrated each year from 25 to 31 May, and it is a time dedicated to raising awareness about the serious impact that thyroid disease can have on quality of life if the condition remains undiagnosed or is not properly treated. This evening we’re joined by Dr Sindeep Bhana, Head of Endocrinology at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital and a specialist in thyroid disease.
