The material is aimed at providing guidance for coding of causes of death and establishing mechanisms for its inclusion within a formal training programme in the Pacific region. This curriculum is intended to be delivered as a module with 10 learning areas and updates the previous ICD-10 curriculum drawing on insights also gained through recent training experience.
The new curriculum was led by Dr Carah Figueroa, while a consultant to SPC, with input from Brisbane Accord Group partners. Also, the support of Vital Strategies and the Bloomberg Data for Health Initiative.
