Porto Airport became the first ANA network airport to offer an adapted restroom for people with ostomy, aiming to improve comfort, privacy, and dignity for travelers. Ostomy is a surgery creating an alternative route for feces or urine to leave the body, involving a stoma and a removable bag. It can be temporary or permanent and may treat conditions like colorectal or bladder cancer. The facility was developed with Ostober.org and Convatec. Similar toilets exist at Hospital Lusíadas Lisboa. Specialized nursing helps ostomy patients resume normal life after surgery.
