We are the Association of European Ostomy Associations, created to improve the life of all Ostomates in Europe.
With pride and great joy I invite you all to our 15th EOA Congress, which will be from 5th October to 8th October 2017 in Høje Taastrup (near Copenhagen, Denmark).
The EOA-EC, in co-operation with the organizing committee of the Danish Ostomy Association COPA, has prepared an interesting programme. COPA will set-up a special website, where you will find all the information about the Congress.
