The Norwegian Cystic Fibrosis Association (NFCF) was founded on December 10, 1976, with an interim board. It serves as an advocacy organization for individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) and their close relatives. As of 2018, there are about 370 people with CF in Norway, and the association has approximately 1,000 members.<\/p>\n
NFCF's daily operations are managed by an executive director who reports to an elected board, supported by an organizational consultant and an information specialist. The association is divided into four regional groups, one in each part of the country, to ensure local presence and support. We also have a professional council responsible for providing expert advice and guidance.<\/p>\n
Over the past decades, the treatment and management of CF have significantly advanced. What was once a life-threatening childhood disease is now a condition where many can lead fulfilling adult lives. Nonetheless, NFCF continuously works to improve the quality of life for those living with CF through information, support, and advocacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
