<description
value="Code system defining the place of occurrence of the external cause of death,
as specified in the WHO Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCoD) Form B.
This element is relevant only when the manner of death involves an external
cause (Assault, Accident, Legal Intervention, Intentional Self Harm, War).
When the code 'other' is used, the Observation SHALL include a text
component specifying the place — this is enforced at the profile level.
Member countries SHALL use these codes without modification to ensure
regional comparability."/>
