GLOBAL AFFILIATE PROGRAM
As PFIC awareness efforts are increasing, members of the PFIC community are stepping up to improve care and resources in countries throughout the world.
If you have or would like to start a support group or charity that seeks to raise PFIC awareness, connect patients with resources and support, and expand research efforts in your country, learn more about becoming a PFIC Network Global Affiliate!
What is a Global Affiliate?
A Global Affiliate is an informal support group or registered charity organized by PFIC patients and/or families.
PFIC Network started the Global Affiliate program to empower patient leaders and improve connection points for international PFIC patients to 1) find support and resources and 2) raise awareness of country-specific challenges facing the PFIC community.
Affiliates are encouraged to learn about global resources available through PFIC Network and participate in the International Alliance (interpretation services provided upon request and availability).
Affiliates are also encouraged to have a PFIC Facebook page, Whatsapp group, or other country-specific PFIC community communication channel.
