World Ostomy Award Inspiration Catalogue
The World Ostomy Award Inspiration Catalogue brings together a selection of inspiring, award-winning initiatives from 2022 and 2025, showcasing how ostomy associations and communities around the world are turning local ideas into meaningful change.
Led by the European Ostomy Association in collaboration with Coloplast A/S, the World Ostomy Award recognises initiatives that strengthen the rights and dignity of people living with a stoma, improve access to information, education and quality care, and encourage the sharing of best practice across borders. From advocacy and awareness to community mobilisation and practical support, these initiatives demonstrate the positive impact that locally driven action can have on the lives of people with a stoma and offer inspiration for others to build on and adapt.
