Stoma Counselling
CANSA offers free pre- and post-operative counselling. Advice is given to ostomates and family members in order to empower them to cope with living with a stoma day-to-day.
For ostomates or family members of ostomates living far from their nearest CANSA Care Centre, our CANSA Tele Stoma Support service is a life-line.
Make an appointment via our Toll Free line on 0800 22 66 22 or email counselling@cansa.org.za to receive free stoma-specific advice, and a trained stoma consultant will give you a call during working hours (08:00 to 16:30).
