Introduction: The care action for Covid ostomy patients is ongoing.
Cancer not only brings physical suffering to patients, but also greatly affects their quality of life. There is such a special group of people, who look no different from ordinary people, but because of the invasion of the disease, they have undergone enterostomy surgery and lost their normal excretory function. They are called "ostomy people".
People with an ostomy "can have a normal life, they are able to live independently, they can participate in social activities normally, but they have temporarily or permanently lost the freedom to defecate." "Stoma person" often means no quality of life, and many people fall into psychological and life difficulties after surgery. Therefore, for "ostomy people", they need the care and support of society and family.
Recently, a stoma friend Zhang Chao (pseudonym) shared in Patient *** that he received free moldable mouth products, which do not need to be manually cut, and the receipt speed is fast, these products have greatly relieved his financial pressure and solved the embarrassment of excrement leakage in his life.
The free ostomy products he mentioned come from the ostomy patient care project - "Reinvent Your Life with Love".

Le Yingming, Deputy Secretary-General of the Pharmaceutical Enterprise Affairs Department of China Primary Health Care Association, said: China Primary Health Care Association and the caring enterprise Convaid (China) Medical Supplies jointly sponsored the Caring Far- I will highly affirm the public welfare of the project, and I also hope that more socially responsible and caring enterprises like Convid will participate in charity, so that more patients can use and afford good medical products.
As a public welfare supporter of the "Rebuild a New Life with Love" project, Ms. Zhou Chunyu, General Manager of Convid Medical China, said that Convid has always emphasized patient-centeredness, while producing high-quality medical supplies, providing professional medical services, and advocating warm and humanistic care, it also attaches more importance to the value of enterprises giving back to the society. I went to work the next day after I was discharged from the hospital" and this sad story happened as little as possible.
At the same time, Convid actively communicated with the first party, optimized the application process, and reduced some unnecessary materials, so that it was more convenient and smooth for people with ostomy to apply for the project, which also practiced the concept of "caring for the far-reaching" that Convid has always had.
In order to better help patients who are still confused and ignorant shortly after surgery, this public welfare project specially stipulates that ostomy patients within 3 months after surgery can participate in the registration. The personal information and participation qualifications of patients in this public welfare project are reviewed by the China Primary Health Care Association, and the relevant rules and registration of the activity can be understood and participated in by following WeChat *** Care Zhiyuan Ostomy Public Welfare Project.
Up to now, more than 500 ostomy patients have applied for this public welfare activity, and more than 100 patients have also been provided with ostomy product assistance, and the project has covered 31 provinces and municipalities, 263 cities, and 996 hospitals.
In recent years, based on bringing more care to ostomy patients, Convid (China) Medical Supplies has actively fulfilled its social responsibilities and been active in various public welfare activities. In the future, Convid will continue to work closely with all sectors of society to make unremitting efforts to improve the quality of life of ostomy patients.
