Official Updates To Icd-10: World Health Organization
The following pages include the official changes to the tabular list, instruction manual and alphabetical index of ICD-10. These changes were

implementation date.
Relevant changes in other language versions of ICD-10 and in related tools will also have to be made and disseminated by the appropriate
