Program Description

Cystic Fibrosis Worldwide has put considerable resources to work in India to develop a CF patient association. The Cystic Fibrosis South Asian Trust (CF-SAT) is now a legally established organization.

The final step in capacity building for the CF-SAT is to provide financial support for the employment of a Health and Social Welfare specialist to act as the Director of CF-SAT and establish a permanent office in Delhi. The objective of the Director of CF-SAT will be to implement the CF-SAT strategic plan that was developed in cooperation with CFW in 2007.

CFW will have the option to assist in individual projects as requested by CF-SAT utilizing our international network and resources. CFW will also include India in our Educational program planning regional conferences every 2 years.
