After the lunch with the EC members of Hong Kong Stoma Association we went to HKSA office.<\/p><p>We had long discussion for about 3 hrs on how to plead with Hong Kong legislative body next day in getting ostomates certified as disabled so that they can get financial aids to get ostomy supplies. We went through lots of rules and regulations of Hong Kong government and directives of HK legislative from 2006 till date. I had offered to present their case but according to local regulations only locals can do that in legislative meetings to address the legislators.
