Together with Ivana Šohajová, as supporters and donors of the Cystic Fibrosis Club, we visited the Cystic Fibrosis Center at Brno University Hospital.
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with Dr. Barbora Alena Holčíková, Ph.D., and Dr. Barbora Kořenková, who gave us an insight into the operations of one of the most important specialized centers for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in the Czech Republic.
The Cystic Fibrosis Center at Brno University Hospital is the second-largest facility of its kind in the Czech Republic and provides patients with comprehensive diagnostics, treatment, and long-term specialized care. Its success is due not only to its state-of-the-art facilities but, above all, to the people who care for patients every day with exceptional professionalism, empathy, and dedication.
Cystic fibrosis is a rare genetic disease, yet it is one of the most common conditions in this group. In the Czech Republic, approximately one in every 6,000 live births is diagnosed with this condition. Thanks to advances in medicine, research, and modern treatment methods, the quality and length of patients’ lives have improved significantly in recent decades.
Our visit to the center reaffirmed that behind every medical success stand not only top-notch doctors and healthcare professionals, but also a community of people who are willing to help, support, and take responsibility for others.
We are proud that, through the Cystic Fibrosis Club, we can contribute to supporting the treatment of this rare disease and help where it is truly needed.
A big thank you goes to helping with us.
