The National Gaucher Foundation of Canada

http://www.gauchercanada.ca/

The National Gaucher Foundation of Canada was formed in 1991 by patients, family members, health professionals and affiliated health companies, with the onset of the approval of enzyme replacement therapy in Canada.

The National Gaucher Foundation of Canada provided a forum for supporting individuals and families.

Today, it continues to look at ways to improve health and related services for Gaucher patients across Canada.

The foundation continues as a nonprofit charitable organization. A voluntary board of directors provided overall direction for the foundation.
