  <description
               value="Value set for the manner of death as documented on the WHO Medical
Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCoD), Frame B.

This value set includes all codes from the AeHIN MCCoD Manner of Death
code system. It is bound REQUIRED to the MCCoDMannerOfDeath Observation
profile, meaning only these codes are permitted.

**Guidance for member countries:**
Countries wishing to map these codes to SNOMED CT or ICD-11 external
cause codes for interoperability purposes SHOULD do so in their national
implementation guide, which extends this IG. No additional codes SHALL
be added at the regional level; extensions are national only.

**SNOMED CT cross-reference (informative, not binding):**
- Disease → 38605008 (Natural death)
- Assault → 27935005 (Homicide)
- Accident → 7878000 (Accidental death)
- Intentional Self Harm → 44301001 (Suicide)"/>
