The International Program on Chemical
Safety (IPCS/WHO), of the World Health Organization,
through its project INTOX, and with the collaboration of
many centers of toxicological information at the world
level, has been developing a system that facilitates the
harmonization of the reports of the toxicological
centers. Several centers of the Region have the system
INTOX, some are in the process of acquiring it and
others use its own system to register the consultations.
INTOX gives the possibility of making an "ideal" report
that can be adapted to the local and regional needs.
