Ramadan is the only month in which all Muslims refrain themselves from eating, drinking and sexual activities from dawn until its sunset in order to make their fast complete. The mission and the main aim of fasting is to teach Muslims how to show patience, humility, spirituality and is a time for Muslims to fast for the sake of Allah (God in Arabic) – to show tolerance and to offer more prayer than usual that is five times a day regularly.
Wishing all Muslim pals in Malaysia and Muslim readers abroad, “Ramadan Mubarak!” (Blessed Ramadan!)
For the first time, experts in the public health community who work with patient diagnosis and treatment have an opportunity to contribute to the development of the next version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), which is WHO’s publication that ensures all members of the health community refer to diseases and health conditions in a consistent way.
WHO is releasing the beta version of what will be ICD-11 on a wiki-type platform that allows stakeholder comments to be added after peer review. The final ICD-11 will be released in 2015.
WHO encourages anyone interested to comment to develop a more comprehensive classification.
The ICD is the foundation for the identification of health trends and statistics globally. Receiving input from health experts will greatly improve the representation from current medical practice and create insight from a broader diversity of medicine.
“Literally this is what doctors use to diagnose a patient,” says Tevfik Bedirhan Ustun, coordinator in the Department of Health Statistics and Information Systems. “It is how we define the cause of death when a person dies. In research, it is how we classify health problems based on evidence.”
The ICD is the gold standard for defining and reporting diseases and health conditions. It allows the world to compare and share health information using a common language.
In addition to health providers, the ICD is a key tool used by epidemiologists to study disease patterns, insurers, national health programme managers, data collection specialists, and others who track global health progress and how health resources are spent.
Using advances in information technology, this ICD revision will allow users to collect data on cause of death, advances in science and medicine, emerging diseases and health conditions, and compare information across the globe with more ease and diversity in the service of public health and clinical reporting.
Public health experts interested in contributing to ICD-11 can review the classification and register to join the consultation now. The final version of ICD-11 will be launched in 2015.
