UTH ADULT HOSPITAL COMMEMORATES WORLD OSTOMY DAY 2025

Today, we proudly joined the global community in observing World Ostomy Day 2025 under the theme: “Invisible Disabilities: Visible Support.”

An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening (called a stoma) in the abdomen to allow waste to leave the body when the natural route is not possible due to illness, injury, or congenital conditions.

World Ostomy Day, observed every three years, is dedicated to raising awareness and promoting unity among ostomy patients globally. This year’s theme placed emphasis on recognizing the invisible challenges faced by ostomates, while ensuring visible support systems are in place.

The event was graced by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Dr. Kennedy Lishimpi, who reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to strengthening stoma care services and fighting stigma around ostomies.

At UTH Adult Hospital, we see the courage and resilience of ostomy patients every day. As our Acting Senior Medical Superintendent, Dr. Charles Mbewe, reminded us that many ostomates live with scars and challenges others cannot see, at UTH, we pledge to make our support visible through training, counseling, advocacy, and compassionate care.

We were honored to commemorate this important day alongside our partners in health and corporate supporters, including Stomacare Support Zambia, Shoprite Zambia, Continuum Medical Supplies, Fostitula Foundation, Zambia Flying Doctor Service, Victoria Hospital, Chaminuka, Radisson Blu, Ballon Deco, and Wireforce.

Their presence underscored the importance of multi-sectoral collaboration in supporting ostomy patients and raising public awareness.

Together, we stand united in raising awareness, breaking stigma, and restoring dignity for all ostomy patients in Zambia.
