Sharing best practice for cystic fibrosis care
In many countries, children with cystic fibrosis are dying unnecessarily due to inadequate treatment. Together, we can change this!
In the UK, children with cystic fibrosis can now expect to live well into adulthood and even old age. Yet in many other countries, child mortality remains unnecessarily high due to a lack of early diagnosis and intervention. Child Health International works with medical teams in the UK and abroad to end this inequality and ensure every child gets the care and the life they deserve.
