WHO FIC Education and Implementation Committee
ShareCompartir
The WHO FIC Education and Implementation Committee was created at the 2010 WHO FIC Network Annual meeting in Toronto, Canada, when the separate Education Committee and Implementation Committee merged. These two committees had worked closely together since their establishment in 1999, first focusing on the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) and, beginning in 2003, on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, as well.
