History
Jofrid Erland, a nurse dedicated to the care of her patients. In 2007, her husband was diagnosed with colon cancer, and came home from the hospital with a stoma bag. She realized that in order to get her husband back in social life, the odor and leakage from the ostomy pouch had to be stopped. With needle, thread and various types of diapers she sewed her first prototype. By teaming up with a group of professionals in 2010, they successfully launched what is now our patented solution. The Stoma Pad.
Erland Care was established in 2010, and in 2020 it evolved to what is now Global Health Technology AS.
Today, our company stands as a testament of Jofrid’s love and determination to help patients regain their quality of life.
