There are 300 CF children and adults in Slovakia, and around 800 in Ukraine (but there have to be much more in Ukraine).

Project activities
Focusing on long term effect and sustainability in all project activities we want to achieve our overall objective to ensure higher quality of life for CF patients and their family members in Slovakia and Ukraine. Creation of CF Centre with required medical equipment and well educated CF team in Ivano-Frankivsk Children’s Hospital means creation of adequate conditions for long-term improvement of health, social and public services for CF patients and their families. Thanks to early and correct diagnosis we could save CF patients before premature death.
