Physician/Research Info
NF Canada is committed to increasing the awareness of the care, management and treatment of patients to the medical community. While recent research has produced encouraging results and studies are being conducted world wide to understand the origin of this genetic disorder and to develop treatment methods, awareness is extremely low within the Canadian medical community.
We hope that the resources provided here will help physicians and researchers begin to better understand NF.
