Every Canadian deserves the right to breathe
Cystic fibrosis is a disease that leaves families very little hope for a child to live a long, vibrant life… until now. There is a BREAKTHROUGH medicine called Trikafta that is saving and transforming lives.
This breakthrough life -saving medicine is approved and prescribed across the world but is not available to Canadians.
The U.S Federal Drug Agency (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) expedited the approval of Trikafta due to its transformational impact to patients during the clinical trials. Trikafta has received regulatory approval across the world while Canadians are left to wait and decline in health.
We refuse to stay silent. Thousands of Canadian families have joined the CF Get Loud movement and are working together to make positive change in Canada. With your help, we will save the lives of 4300 young Canadians that will not survive without access to modern CF medicine.
Join the movement.
As the world celebrated, Canadians quickly discovered that we were no longer leaders in quality of care and treatment of cystic fibrosis. We were falling behind the rest of the world, behind 20 other countries that prioritized their CF populations. These countries have systems and processes such as a Rare Disease Strategy that recognize the unique needs of people with rare disease and the challenges they face in getting access to new and innovative medicines. Our health system has no mechanism to assist in bringing rare disease medicines into Canada. Canadians are forced to wait - indefinitely. The one thing CF patients certainly don’t have is time.
