Child Health International seeks to minimise geographical inequality in the care of children and young adults living with cystic fibrosis, by facilitating communication and knowledge transfer between UK and overseas medical professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Since its formation in 1992, Child Health International has developed and implemented a successful approach that allows overseas professionals to utilise the expertise within UK multidisciplinary teams to improve treatment of CF patients within their own country. This collaborative approach allows the flexibility to adapt medical care to suit the host country\u2019s situation, taking account of economic restraints, resource availability and cultural differences. The charity\u2019s initial project focussed on CF care within Russia, and saw an increase in life expectancy from 11 to 22 years in the first three years alone. Since then, our work has continued to focus on Eastern Europe, expanding most recently to develop partnerships with a number of Greek medical centres.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"About<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To accomplish this, a project team is established consisting of health clinicians, administrators and project managers who work with the host country\u2019s medical professionals to determine the most effective approach to improve the life expectancy of local CF patients. This can range from advice on diet based on locally-available products and training parents\/guardians in physiotherapy, to arranging periods of work-shadowing to help overseas professionals develop specialist skills and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key goal of all Child Health International\u2019s projects is to develop healthcare infrastructure in the host country that will ensure sustainable improvements well beyond the charity\u2019s initial involvement. The importance of establishing lasting professional relationships between the members of the two teams is a vital element of the project, enabling ongoing learning and improvement across both partner institutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drugs and enzymes required to improve the quality of life can be unaffordable to families in many host countries and are often not available from local health services. Child Health International therefore seeks to work with governments, local administrations and pharmaceutical companies to make medication more accessible and affordable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
