Time has seen management for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) advance drastically, most recently in the development of the disease-modifying triple combination therapy ivacaftor/tezacaftor/elexacaftor. There is currently limited evidence regarding both the global epidemiology of CF and access to this transforma...tive therapy - and therefore where needs are not being met. Therefore, this study aims to define gaps in access to CF treatment. The results show that a significant CF patient burden exists in countries where disease-modifying drugs are unavailable, and final figures are likely underestimates. This analysis shows the potential to improve rates of diagnosis and treatment for CF, so a higher percentage of patients receive the most effective triple combination treatment.

Pendant ce mois, nombre de musulmans se rendent plus fréquemment à la mosquée et se réunissent pour de longues prières, dites du tarawih a et du qiyam.b Certains d’entre eux passent également plusieurs jours et nuits consécutifs à la mosquée pendant les 10 derniers jours du ramadan (i’tikaf), pour y prier. Ces pratiques religieuses et traditions sont observées tout au long du mois. Cette année, le ramadan tombe entre fin avril et fin mai, alors que la pandémie de COVID-19 continue de sévir.
