This topic is about finding alternative ways to obtain ostomy supplies in the Philippines, especially when shipments from abroad go missing. Here are some helpful suggestions:
1. Reach out to Friends of Ostomates Worldwide (FOW-USA). This is a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC, with a warehouse in Kentucky. They collect unused ostomy supplies and ship them free of charge to people overseas. You can visit their website at fowusa.org to find their current contact information and get in touch for assistance.
2. Visit large branches of Mercury Drug in the Philippines. Many of these stores stock ostomy bags and wafers, so it might be worth checking them out.
3. For Hollister products, you can contact the local Philippine Hollister agent. You can reach them at +63 916 483 7045 and ask for Jobelle. They can provide information about specific models and help arrange delivery.
