Caring for Patients
Patients have said they need ongoing support.
- 49% of respondents in a recent survey by UOAA reported a need for more adequate information and communication post-op.1
- There is a lack of information for patients in the pre-surgery stage.2
- Connection to other ostomates is an unmet need.2
- Post-surgery, patients have little to no awareness around their options for brand and product choice.2
