If you have a stoma or knows someone who does, then this webinar is for you!

We know that it can take a while for a cancer patient to adapt to living with a stoma, this is not an easy process, and it impacts family caregivers too.

With this in mind, we have arranged a Stoma Webinar which will take place on Saturday, 2 October 2021 (World Ostomy Day) from 9:00 to 10:30 discussing CANSA’s core stoma support offerings and Tele Stoma counselling, and asking experts to share on topics such as appropriate care, support, ostomy underwear, nutrition and intimacy issues.

How CANSA Helps

We offer pre- and post-operative counselling, as well as support groups via our Stoma Clinics and specially trained nursing staff. Advice is given to patients & families and they are empowered with coping skills to deal with living with a stoma day-to-day.

CANSA’s stoma service has an excellent offering of cost-effective stoma products and accessories and provides patient support.

We recently introduced our CANSA Tele Stoma Support Service where online consultations for stoma patients and their families are offered to assist with challenges or stoma queries. Book an appointment via the CANSA Help Desk on 0800 22 66 22 / info@cansa.org.za.
