Kei Mori, Emiko Oikawa, Koki Abe, Kaori Nakayama (International Classification and Information Management Office to the Director-General for Statistics, Information Policy and Policy Evaluation, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare)

One of the statutory duties of the WHO is to produce the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). The classification has a pivotal global influence on health statistics and policies. The new version; ICD-11 is long overdue since the previous one is a generation old. The ICD 11 is at its final step for implementation following a decade of preparation and discussions. The World Health Assembly shall make the final approval in May 2019.
In this new ICD, stroke for the first time is recognized as a neurological disorder since 1955. However, many challenges remain in some areas such as dementia. Prof Shakir the immediate past President of WFN and Chair of the ICD 11 Neurology TAG (Topic Advisory Group) and others will explain this complicated story. It would be of great value for neurologists to understand the structure of ICD-11 and the position of neurology among other fields of medicine. In addition, Japan has been a crucial contributor throughout the ICD-11 process, which will be explained by Dr. Mori form MHWL.
