EOA Project

EOA project I

This project that we are doing by bringing together in workshops in Lusaka and Livingstone ostomates, doctors, nurses and other health care workers and members of the administrative side, is being run for the second time. The first time was in Zimbabwe in 2019. We are trying to have people talk together, compare their experiences, and try to find solutions for the problems that arise from the needs of ostomates for appliances and health care services.

WOD 2021 – 40 years of ISILCO

We invite you to watch this beautiful video in which people with a stoma share their stories and convince us that the stoma is not an obstacle in life. Sometimes it opens up new opportunities, and sometimes it saves lives. The film was made on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Icelandic ostomy association ISILCO. It is available with English and Polish subtitles.

World Ostomy Day 2021 in Vienna / Austria

At the WOD, it was particularly important to us to set a visible sign with our information stand in the park in front of Vienna’s city hall. In accordance with the motto of the EOA, we wanted to draw attention to the rights of us ostomates. For the implementation, we found some ideas on the website of our colleagues from the Czech Republic.
