An important note from a Medical Health Practitioner:

I want to bring to your attention that electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome (EHS) is diagnosed under the ICD Clinical Code for Radiation Sickness. But how these clinical codes work is that if sufficient people are complaining of adverse health effects from an identifiable source, then the ICD coding body have an emergency code under which the condition will be identified. The code was developed in 2016 and has not changed since but needs to be.

I would suggest, as numerous people are affected and a health crisis is breaking out in South Africa, that people need to report their symptoms to a GP and ask to have their diagnosis coded against this condition. The more people who do so (and it is their right to ask for this code to be noted against the GP’s assessment plus they have the right to see their clinical notes) then screening can be put in place to register how many people are suffering. This will demand a government health response.

The code for Radiation Sickness is: 2018 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T66.XXA
