The ALLERGY in ICD-11

Dear Friends, dear Colleagues,

As you may know, over the last 7 years we have been moving efforts for a better representation of allergic and hypersensitivity conditions in the World Health Organization's international classifications. The actions of the ALLERGY in ICD-11 initiative have been acknowledged by the Joint Allergy Academies (WAO, EAACI, AAAAI, ACAAI, APAAACI, SLAAI) and the WHO ICD governance, which resulted in the construction of the pioneer section addressed to these conditions in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11. Recently, the ICD-11 has been fully endorsed by the members of states and we are now working in the implementation process.

With the aim of actively support the global implementation of the ICD-11 taking the allergic and hypersensitivity conditions as a model, we thank you very much for replying this online survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdGS-fIN7Oy_74OKkIcu6_Oh0hZ9KzeMwSqN9PvM5XDy-AewA/viewform. We also kindly ask you for your support to cascade-down and to share it among your networks.

We intend to receive responses up to 20th September.

Thank you very much!

With our best wishes,
Luciana & Pascal
