It´s the World Health Organisation that works out the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). You can check here: http://www.who.int/classifications/icd/en/index.html Probably near 20.000 diagoses exisist within biomedicine. But are diseases real, are they entities or are they just constructions? Mostly they only classify or describe the consequence of pathological processes.
