WHO and GMDN Medical Device Collaboration for Communication

The GMDN Agency was established to provide a system that allows an exchange of medical device information for Health Authorities and regulators and there for supporting patient safety. It is now the leading global standard for classifying and categorizing medical devices.  The GMDN agency and the WHO has set up a collaboration which will entail the WHO using 3,000 GMDN Terms, Codes and Definitions within its online medical device information platforms. The aim is to improve communication about medical devices between the WHO, medical device regulators and health providers in the health sector.
