 The University of Jordan Cystic Fibrosis Research Group (UJ-CF Research Group), in collaboration with the Middle East Cystic Fibrosis Association (MECFA), had the honor of meeting with the President of the University of Jordan to discuss ongoing and future initiatives. Key topics included strengthening research collaboration between MECFA, the University of Jordan, and the School of Medicine, as well as the potential exchange of medical professionals, including students, residents, and fellows. Discussions also focused on enhancing the services provided to children with cystic fibrosis at Jordan University Hospital, particularly following the hospital's enrollment in the quality improvement initiative aimed at advancing nutritional care for children with CF.

The meeting was attended by distinguished members of the UJ-CF Research Group, including representatives from Harvard University, the University of Utah, and healthcare professionals from Boston Children's Hospital. Their presence reflected the strong international commitment to advancing cystic fibrosis care and research in Jordan.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in improving the quality of life and healthcare outcomes for CF patients across the country. It highlights the power of academic and clinical partnerships in driving innovation, capacity building, and ultimately, better care for children affected by this challenging disease.
