Creating long-term sustainable partnerships

The program works in partnership with local stakeholders to improve conditions for those with intimate healthcare needs. That means project partners can expect to work closely in the field with representatives from a local Coloplast subsidiary in shaping and implementing projects.Project ideas can be initiated by both external partners or by Coloplast, but are typically developed and finalised together.

 

In all instances, Access to Healthcare seeks partners who share our goal of building better intimate healthcare for end users in project countries, and who have demonstrated expertise in project and program management.


Who are our partners?

Examples of past and current international partners include the World Council for Enterostomal Nurses (WCET), the  International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS), while examples of local partners extend to organizations like the China Nursing Association and AMCHICHAC (Asociación Méxicana para el Cuidado Integral y Cicatrización de Heridas A.C.).
