group is to provide practical and emotional support for patientswhohadastoma formed as part of their medical treatment or are undergoing such

surgery

People with an ileostomy, colostomy or continent diversion of urine often face difficulties in adapting to their new life with a stoma, have additional financial burden not always carried by the Medical Aid Funds or the State Healthcare providers, and face challenges in obtaining the correct appliances for their individual needs The support group hopes to be strong voice advocating the rights of Ostomates in the region.

Walvis Bay-based medical supply company WestMed, who sponsored the meeting, isalsoonboardtohelp securing supply lines for appliances and accessories for Ostomates.

A patient with a stoma hasapartoftheirdigestive or urinary system removed and requires towearaostomypouch on the abdominal wall for the collection of stoolorurine,oftenfor life In many cases, serious disease such as cancer or severe trauma, inflammation or infections require such surgery Some patients require a stoma to enable feeding, this often is placed into the stomach or the small bowel Unfortunately, within the established network of healthcare providers, patients often do not receive the expert care they need and may suffer from complications if their stoma is not well managed On the other hand,qualityoflifefor Ostomatescanbegood iftherightsupportfrom specialist services and supportfromotherpeople with stoma is at hand.

The new Coastal OstomySupportGroupwas launched to improve life with a stoma, offering education, peer and professional support,andfriendship.

Ifanyoneisaffected,or wantstogetmoreinformation or help, can reachouttoSisterOlga by contacting her through the Erongo Surgical Office at the Walvis Bay MediPark or call the office under 064- 270200.
