Provision of such training courses in Sri Lanka has ultimately led to the designation of the National Institute of Health Sciences, Kalutara as a WHO regional training centre for ICD-10 and basic medical record courses, staffed by former students taught by the NCCH. The development of self-sustainability is one of the primary objectives in the development and provision of NCCH training programs.
