A two day iCAMP Face-to-Face Meeting was held on 28 to 29 January, in Geneva, Switzerland.

ICF = International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health

Wikipedia article

“International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, also known as ICF, is a classification of the health components of functioning and disability. The ICF classification complements WHO’s International Classification of Diseases-10th Revision (ICD), which contains information on diagnosis and health condition, but not on functional status. The ICD and ICF constitute the core classifications in the WHO Family of International Classifications (WHO-FIC).”
