Ostomates, caregiver and healthcare professionals enjoying the celebration of World Ostomy Day sponsored by Ostomy Association of Sigapore.
Singapore proudly joined the global ostomy community in celebrating World Ostomy Day on 4 October 2025, themed “Invisible Disabilities, Visible Support – The Global Unity of Ostomates.”
Held at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, the event brought together ostomates, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and partners for a vibrant morning of learning, laughter, and connection. Joyful performances by children from The Little Skool-House and a heartfelt song by an ostomate set an uplifting tone for the day.
Highlights included moving patient stories, a keynote by A/Prof Surendra Mantoo on “Precision in Practice, Compassion in Care,” and an insightful talk on intimacy and confidence by Dr Martha Tara Lee from Eros Coaching Pte Ltd.
A key milestone was the launch of the Alliance for Colorectal Support and Advocacy (ACSA) and new partnerships with Eagles Mediation & Counselling Centre, Underneath The Moon, and Thrive Social Consulting.
With strong support from stoma nurses, Empowerment Partners Coloplast and Convatec, and industry collaborators, the celebration shone a spotlight on unity, compassion, and community.
