Get Codes

Traditional medicine conditions – Module I is a chapter in ICD-11 that includes conditions and diagnostic concepts derived from traditional medicine systems, such as those used in East Asian and other traditional medical practices. These conditions are described using traditional theoretical frameworks and patterns of imbalance, which differ from conventional biomedical disease classifications but are widely used in clinical practice in many regions.

This chapter provides a standardized way to document and analyze traditional medicine diagnoses alongside conventional health information systems. Proper classification supports clinical communication, research, health service reporting, and the integration of traditional medicine practices into health data systems, while respecting cultural contexts and promoting safe, informed use of traditional medicine.
