'Intensive work' ongoing to give 35 children with cystic fibrosis access to life-changing drug
24 May 2022 - Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has said he wants to see the 35 children with cystic fibrosis aged between six and 11 years old, who have been excluded from accessing a life-changing drug, Kaftrio, get the medication they need.
The minister said there is “intensive work” on-going between the Department of Health, the HSE and Vertex, the manufacturers of the drug, on the issue.
