And the question becomes, what would an ideal CF center in Pakistan look like? And what is the first step to build one? Because we have heard that you may have the best CF center already in place in Pakistan.

Muhammad FareeduddinGUEST
So the thing is that when we started back in like last year, when we were like just gathering all the data and the patients.

Muhammad FareeduddinGUEST
So initially when I was asked that how many patients will I have who will be needing Trikafta, the gene modulator therapy.

Muhammad FareeduddinGUEST
So I said that nearly about 50 and that was a random answer on my side.

Muhammad FareeduddinGUEST
But yes, but now like we started off with just 45 patients who were on Trikafta and now we have doubled it and now it's 90 right now, what I'm talking about today.

Muhammad FareeduddinGUEST
And it was a very, very, very difficult task because working in a general hospital, our hospital is not just only a pediatric hospital there, that's basically a general hospital.

Muhammad FareeduddinGUEST
And we have to look after other subspecialties also, and especially in the pediatrics.

One of the questions, I think the last question that is coming across in this priority for you, Dr. Fariduddin, what would it take to build a national CF registry or movement that changes policy and outcomes, please? Thank you.
