Donate a Breath of Hope
Cystic fibrosis is a rare and incurable genetic disease that severely affects the lungs and digestive system, significantly reducing quality of life. Together, we can provide treatments, support, and hope to those who fight every day for a breath. Every donation matters!
About Us
We are a community dedicated to supporting people affected by cystic fibrosis in the Republic of Moldova. Our mission is to improve patients' quality of life, promote access to treatments, and raise awareness about this disease.
To support patients with cystic fibrosis and their families, the National Association Invigem Fibroza Cistică (AO ANIFC) was established in 2010.
What is cystic fibrosis?
Our body produces mucus – a fluid substance that covers and moisturizes the channels of some organs in our body. In the case of cystic fibrosis, the mucus is thick and sticky, which causes difficulties in the respiratory and digestive pathways.
Additionally, the bronchi can become clogged and infected, causing coughing and expectoration. The digestive organs (liver, pancreas, intestines) can also become obstructed, leading to digestive issues. The lungs and pancreas are two of the most important organs affected.
MYTHS about cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is NOT contagious
Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease (passed down through genes from both parents) – it cannot be transmitted from one person to another through any form of personal contact such as coughing or touching.
Cystic fibrosis is NOT visible on the outside
Children with cystic fibrosis look just like other children. There are no visible physical signs of cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis does NOT affect intellectual capacity
Children with cystic fibrosis learn and develop according to age norms.
Cystic fibrosis is NOT a disability
While some children with cystic fibrosis are limited by their condition, most are able to lead a normal, active, and productive life.
Cystic fibrosis is NOT bronchial asthma
Although some doctors may confuse cystic fibrosis with bronchial asthma until the diagnosis is made, these conditions are completely different, with some similar symptoms, such as wheezing, difficulty breathing, and coughing.
