CFW has started a campaign to aid people who suffer
from CF in developing countries.
We begin our campaign with the ‘The Republic of Georgia,’ of the former Soviet Union, and the
CF Charity Foundation of Georgia (CFG) in Tbilisi. CFW and the CFG will work in collaboration to
develop sustainable advancements in the delivery of clinical care, access to medication and the
spread of education in the treatment of CF in Georgia and surrounding regions.

Meet the Children of Georgia Phase I: Renovation and Implementation After restoration. Phase I complete!

Georgia Name of Project: “Georgian National Cystic Fibrosis Center” The Project to bring change The situation in CF related care today in Georgia leaves CF patients with no CF clinical care or delayed service at best and very rarely at the beginning stage. Most people with CF are forced to try to seek care in foreign countries at great financial and moral expense to their families. There are no training facilities for medical staff, among parents, teachers and nurses of the patients. The basic antibiotics and pancreatic enzymes that most CF patients rely on daily are nonexistent for people with CF in Georgia. While the average life expectancy in developing countries has moved to beyond 32 years, in Georgia the average life expectancy for CF patients is only 16. The project will be completed through a series of five phases:           Back to top     February 2004: Phase I January 2005: Phase III January 2006: Phase V     January 2005: Phase II June 2005: Phase IV January 2005 – June 2006: Evaluation   What is the outcome? Outcomes are benefits to clients who utilize the clinic, free medication and information Centre being developed in the Republic of Georgia. The evaluation will also include effects on families, the Children’s Central Hospital and the communities where people with CF live.
