We are pleased to announce a significant development regarding the availability of specialized Medina Catheters (curved and straight) for people living with a Kock Pouch in Canada. Over the past eight months, we have been in discussions with Health Canada to address the lack of these essential supplies since the previous supplier's acquisition by a Swedish company.
Today, we had a successful meeting with Health Canada and have identified a solution that allows Canadians with a Kock Pouch to access these specialized catheters without needing to order from the USA or Europe.
To inform you about how to access these catheters, we will be holding several information sessions. The dates and times for these sessions are as follows:
July 29 at 7 PM EDT/4 PM PDT: RSVP on Zoom
August 1 at 7 PM EDT/4 PM PDT: RSVP on Zoom
August 8 at 7 PM EDT/4 PM PDT: RSVP on Zoom
September 4 at 7 PM EDT/4 PM PDT: RSVP on Zoom
If you are interested in attending one of these information sessions, please RSVP on Zoom using the provided links.
Warm regards,
