Cystic Fibrosis Worldwide (CFW) is a non-profit organization which has its registered office in Massachusetts, USA . CFW is dedicated to improving quality of life and life expectancy for people living with cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic life-threatening disease. Cystic Fibrosis Worldwide began our mission to aid people born with cystic fibrosis in 2002. Since our inception we have reached out globally focusing on developing countries and countries where little is known about CF. This has led a path across the globe reaching people in countries such as Oman, Palestine, India, Armenia, Macedonia and Brazil to name a few.
CFW enables access to knowledge and appropriate care to those people living with CF and among medical professionals and governments worldwide focusing on countries where local health systems are limited in the support they can provide.
CF Worldwide works to bring long term solutions via Educational conferences, Capacity building programs, Clinical development, international lobbying efforts and by creating a global network. We continue to reach higher and work harder in efforts to aid people born with CF now living without access to necessary medication, treatment or equipment. We work against time, we work with a dedicated effort and we work to win the battle. Join CFW by donating to our programs and lets win this fight together!
