The Consell Insular de Menorca grants a subsidy for the reinforcement of CF treatment in Menorca.
The project
The Cystic Fibrosis Balearic Association carries out the project of integral attention to children and young people with Cystic Fibrosis, which includes the reception, orientation and follow-up in each phase of the disease; the training of these people in the technique of Autogenous Drainage, inhaled therapy and hygiene measures; the reeducation to the effort and the psychological treatment.
7.000,00 € for the reinforcement of CF treatment in Menorca
The Consell Insular de Menorca helps our organization to develop the project with the approval of annual grants. In this case, the grant is 7.000,00 € to cover part of the expenses for the year 2020.
CF casuistry in Menorca
The Cystic Fibrosis Balearic Association is aware of 17 cases of people diagnosed with this disease in Menorca. Of them, 15 receive one or more services of the program.
Welcome process in Cystic Fibrosis
When a family has a member diagnosed with CF and contacts our organization, they are provided with the appropriate information for that particular stage of the disease. In addition, a training mini-clinic is offered so that they can have some tools to deal with small infections that clog the airways.
Guidance and follow-up
The person with Cystic Fibrosis goes through different phases. From the Association we try to respond to the problems, concerns, doubts and needs in each one of them, which includes giving adequate information and indications or even accompaniment to solve bureaucratic issues.
Education equals Health in Cystic Fibrosis
With this program we intend to give tools to people with Cystic Fibrosis so that they can carry out the treatment of their disease in an autonomous way, which, in times of confinement or in possible long trips, is essential to keep the disease under control.
Endurance training
The body of a person with Cystic Fibrosis, in most cases, works with a blood oxygen saturation below normal limits. The stress re-education program helps these people to be able to perform more daily activities that require physical effort.
Psychological care
As in any chronic and degenerative disease, people with Cystic Fibrosis go through different emotional phases. It is important to have an emotional reinforcement in those low moments when the disease presses and the person has difficulties to face recovery processes.
