One in three people live with a chronic condition*. This translates to more than two billion individuals facing daily challenges that often go unseen. Convatec partners with people every day to help them overcome these challenges and live life on their terms.

In 2025, Convatec commissioned new research to explore the continuum of chronic care — from diagnosis to building support networks to navigating stigma and misunderstanding. This survey gathered insights from more than 10,000 adults, including 3,400 people living with chronic conditions across the UK, Brazil, Germany, Italy and the United States, with a particular focus on ostomy and continence care.
