Hi

My name is Marsha, and I came across a site Called Friends of Ostomats Worldwide (  FOWUSA)  based in Washington DC Area, but they have a wharehouse in Kentucky, from where they collect and send ostomy supplies around the world.   Look up their contact information on line....and write or call.  Someone will get back to  you.   I've been in touch with a Woman from Papua New Guinea, who needed supplies for people without access to them.   Last year, I brought I suitcase of unused supplies with me to Australia, ( where I was visiting my children) and the supplies were picked up and delivered to PPNG.   I won't be going to Australia this year, so I'm going to try to get the supplies to Kentucky.

 

Best of luck to you. 

Marsha

I take part in these forums almost every day. They and the people that contribute to them have made all the difference in my having the courage to live a normal life with an ileostomy. The people here are marvelous and come from all walks of life and from all over the world. Hearing what others have lived through has really helped me put my own experience in perspective. I highly recommend all ostomates and caretakers of ostomates to come join us.

Hi Siberian, you can try mercury drug stores here in the Philippines .. They would have ostomy bags and wafers if that's what you need. Or contact a Hollister agent cell phone number  09164837045 jobelle.
