The International Health Terminology Standards Development organization (IHTSDO®), trading as SNOMED International, maintains the SNOMED CT technical design, the content architecture, the SNOMED CT content (includes the concepts table, the descriptions table, the relationships table, a history table, and ICD mappings), and related technical documentation.
We kindly encourage all Belgian users to submit their feedback on the content of the Belgian Edition through the NRC's Request Management Portal.
