Excerpt
1. Opening of . the meeting Professor BjBm Smedby, Head of the WHO Collaborating Centre for the Classification of Diseases for the Nordic Countries welcomed participants to the meeting. He pointed out that the Nordic Centre was organized on a different basis to the other Centres in that it is a multilingual centre based on the regional principle with financial resources being provided by the five Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Noway and Sweden. The Centre was created some 10 years ago and had grown out of a longstanding collaboration on classification matters between the Nordic Medico-Statistical Committee (NOMESCO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Centre has an independent board consisting of one representative from each country appointed by the national health authorities. The Nordic Centre had hosted the 1988 meeting in Uppsala, Sweden. For the present meeting it had been decided to organize @ the meeting in one of the other Nordic countries in order to emphasize the multinational character of the Centre. He thanked the stafFof the Danish National Board of Health for their impressive work in setting up the infrastructure for the meeting.
