March 2026 – 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
