Cystic fibrosis is a complex condition that affects thousands of people, like Jordy (whose story you can hear in our video), in a number of life-altering ways. But we’re working to ensure that everyone living with CF gets the best possible care, treatments and support so that they can live lives unlimited by their condition.

Ground-breaking research
Through SmartCareCF, we’re using health tech to help people like Sammie manage their health, detect bugs early and stay out of clinic.
