Global Partnerships
Our ostomy supplies get into the hands of those who need it most thanks in large part to our strategic partnerships in three key countries: Ukraine, Iran, and Kenya. Collaborating hand-in-hand with these ostomy associations, we ensure that appropriate supplies are delivered to each location as part of the care each ostomate relies on up.
