Jumilla will illuminate the façade of the City Hall and the Plaza del Trucker Juan Soriano in green for the World Day of the Ostomized Patient, which is commemorated this Saturday, October 3.Ostomized patients are patients who have undergone an ostomy, which is an artificial exit hole that a surgeon makes in the abdominal wall due to various diagnoses to facilitate the exit of waste products from the body.In Spain there are more than 125,000 ostomized people and a greater number of interventions are carried out every day.
This World Day has two main objectives: on the one hand, to help integrate all those affected by this operation and, on the other hand, to sensitize society to the barriers that these patients have to overcome on a daily basis.
The lighting of these two emblematic places in the municipality contributes to making this reality visible and helping these patients rejoin active life despite the limitations that the process entails.
