What is icd12?

ICD-12 stands for International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 12th revision. It is a medical classification system that is used for coding diseases and other health problems for statistical purposes. It is published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is used in most countries around the world.

ICD-12 is used as a tool for epidemiology, health management, and clinical purposes. It provides a standardized way of classifying diseases and health problems, which helps in the collection, interpretation, and analysis of health data from different countries. This enables health organizations to monitor trends in disease occurrence, respond to outbreaks, and develop health policies and guidelines.

The ICD-12 is currently under development and is not yet in use. The latest version of the ICD in use is the ICD-11, which was adopted by the WHO in May 2019 and came into effect on January 1, 2022. The ICD-11 includes new chapters on traditional medicine and sexual health, as well as updated terminology and classifications for mental and behavioral disorders.
