  Please note: SNOMED International and WONCA have decided to deprecate the SNOMED CT to ICPC-2 map. SNOMED International has therefore inactivated all ICPC-2 map records in the current release package, ceased publishing the ICPC-2 release notes, and removed references to ICPC-2 in package naming conventions. Please contact info@snomed.org with any questions, comments, or concerns.
