CF and PCD
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a congenital, severe genetic disorder that causes thick mucus to build up in the lungs, making them prone to infections.
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare congenital condition caused by defects in the structure and function of the cilia, leading to mucus accumulation in the upper and lower airways.
The Norwegian Association for Cystic Fibrosis (NFCF) is an organization for individuals diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia, as well as their families and caregivers.

"Being a grandmother is a gift. My grandchild is cheerful and full of life, despite cystic fibrosis which affects the lungs and stomach. We delight in his smile, but worry about treatments and infections. We adapt our lives to protect him, washing hands and being careful. Everything for our grandchild."

Need someone to talk to?
NFCF has a nationwide network of contact persons, which we callpeers. They are available for anyone who needs someone to talk to. They are either parents of children with CF or adults living with CF themselves. You can contact one of our peer supporters directly. We also have closed Facebook groups where you can chat with like-minded people.
