DUBAI, The Women's Pavilion at Expo City Dubai, in partnership with Meem Foundation, American Hospital Dubai and PeriCare, is launching Her Health Majlis – an ongoing wellness series offering accessible, stigma-free education on women's health.

A key initiative of the newly launched FemTech Hub, the Majlis will address chronic gaps in women’s health and wellness by exploring critical topics, initially including endometriosis, neurodiversity, mental health and fertility.

Each session, which will take place monthly, is designed to be an interactive forum, combining expert insights and specialist panel discussions with the lived experiences of women who are actively shaping the conversation.  

25 March – Endometriosis: the gender pain gap

Aligned with Endometriosis Awareness Month, this session asks why women's pain is persistently minimised, and what the implications are when a condition that affects one in 10 women of reproductive age goes largely unrecognised.

Speakers: Dr Tamara Aldawery – family medicine, American Hospital Dubai; Amy Gilbert, physiotherapist, Perfect Balance Rehabilitation; Dr Mohammed Agha, obstetrician gynaecologist, Fakeeh University Hospital; Dr Sarah Francis, obstetrician gynaecologist, American Hospital Dubai; Amy Wilkinson-Lough, entrepreneur and endometriosis advocate; and Dr Muttahera (Tara) Wyne, clinical psychologist, co-founder and clinical director, The LightHouse Arabia

29 April – Wired differently: neurodivergent women and the power of redefinition

Autism Acceptance Month offers an opportunity to explore how neurodiversity – including ADHD, autism and dyslexia – presents differently in women, and how workplaces and systems can evolve to recognise and celebrate neurodivergent talent.

Speakers: Dr Samira Cutts, occupational therapist, Kings' College Hospital; Sara Elsaid, clinical psychologist, American Hospital Dubai; Shuruk Elwarak, founder and CEO of Enabled – a consultancy specialising in inclusive and accessible workplaces; Dr Haneen Jarrar, psychologist, The Free Spirit Collective; and Rana Akkad, mother, advocate and founder of Jad’s Inclusion – an education centre providing specialised services for children with learning difficulties

20 May – Minds of our own: hormones, mood and mental health

During Mental Health Awareness Month, this Majlis examines how hormonal changes impact mental wellbeing from adolescence to postpartum and beyond, and why integrated care is essential.

24 June – The fertility equation: science, society and choice

World Infertility Awareness Month frames a conversation about choice, access, identity and the systems – medical, social and personal – that shape fertility decisions for women today.

Her Health Majlis sessions will take place at Expo City Dubai and are free and open to all women. Registration is required.
