Christian Medical College Vellore provides holistic care for children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a genetic disease that affects multiple organs and can be fatal, if left untreated.
A multidisciplinary CF care team was developed under the CF-India Project, a collaborative venture between the Department of Pediatrics (Respiratory services), CMC Vellore and the Department of Pulmonary Medicine at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, USA , supported by the US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
The aims of CF-India project are to create awareness about CF among Indian health care professionals and patients, facilitate early diagnosis, and help initiate basic CF-specific treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality.
Our CF care team is excited to share some educational videos created for parents to provide the best CF-specific care for our patients using resources that are generally available in India. Periodic check-ups with the medical team remain important to reinforce these treatments and address questions and updates.
Optimal nutritional therapy is a very important component of CF care. Good nutrition results in better lung health, improves immunity and improves quality of life.
In this video , paediatric respiratory therapist Mr. Hari Prathap Reddy explains and demonstrates how chest physiotherapy should be administered to children.
