The WHO International Classification of Diseases (ICD) provides a taxonomy of nearly all known human diseases, based on the best available evidence. The ICD is the international standard for diagnostic classification and ensures comparable reporting of health data and the homogenous compilation of national morbidity and mortality statistics. All 194 member states of WHO have agreed to use the ICD. Since its foundation in 1948, WHO has been responsible for the listing and organisation of diseases and their periodic revision in the ICD, including the chapter entitled Diseases of the Nervous System.
