WHO Collaborating Centers for the Family of International Classifications
(ICD-10, ICF & ICHI) In the World and India
WHO works with a network of Collaborating Centers to develop, disseminate, implement and update the WHO
Family of International Classifications to support national and international health information systems, statistics
and evidence.
The Collaborating Centers have been established to assist WHO and users with the development and
implementation of WHO-Family of International Classifications. It is important that users bring to the attention
of the respective Centre any significant problems they might encounter in the use of WHO-FIC classifications.
Proposals for amendments or additions to the classifications should be directed, in the first instance, to the
relevant Centre.
