The Cystic Fibrosis Association initiates activities to ensure rights and excellence in public institutions and organizations such as health funds, the Ministry of Health, the National Insurance Institute, the Ministry of Welfare, the Ministry of Education, and the Interior.
For example:
- Adding new drugs to the health basket.
- Applying to the HMOs for exceptional approvals for drugs and technologies not included in the basket.
- Assisting in reconnecting the CEO to define students’ lifestyles with cystic fibrosis in educational institutions.
- Restricting the rights of cystic fibrosis patients to obtain permits to employ foreign workers.
