In this article, we explore MECFA’s #MissionStatement outlining our impact to-date.

MECFA's organizing principles are three-fold: 1️⃣ Early and Accurate Diagnosis 2️⃣ Training of Clinicians and Allied Health Professionals 3️⃣ Access to Essential Therapies

Did you know that most MECFA member countries do not have access to diagnostics, essential therapies or CF centers?

Did you know that the life expectancy of someone living in the Middle East with cystic fibrosis is roughly 50% of that reported in Western countries?

A decline in the health of cystic fibrosis patients in the Middle East can be attributed to a general lack of centers specializing in the diagnosis and care of patients with CF.

At MECFA, we believe that even small acts of generosity can create lasting change in CF patient's lives, their families, and their communities. Ultimately, transforming the future of patients in the region.

Our founding clinicians paved the way for a brighter, healthier, and happier future of CF patients in MENA and Central Asia.
