ALT Adapting to life with a stoma is challenging, especially at the beginning when getting used to this change in body image and function. Hospitals damaged by war, shortages of essential supplies, limited access to clean water, and disrupted healthcare systems mean many ostomates are forced to manage without the basics that so many of us rely on every day.
