Acknowledging the achievements of women from all walks of life, Nutreema Advertising yesterday (March 11) held ‘The 15th Women’s Show’ at the Intercontinental Hotel Abu Dhabi.

The event, held in collaboration with Danat Al Emarat Hospital for Women & Children, HealthPlus IVF Fertility Center, and Moorfields Eye Hospital Abu Dhab, witnessed around 500 women from different sectors in Abu Dhabi attend.

During her opening remarks, head organizer Rima Sayegh Janho said: “Every woman is beautiful and determined. Her essence is worth celebrating as she remains the rock of the earth over decades. Have a Happy Women’s and Mother’s Day to all of you.”  

Health talks included a talk on Endometriosis in Women, as March also marks the World Endometriosis Month. Dr. Islam Sidky, consultant obstetrics and gynecology, Minimal Access Surgeon at Danat Al Emarat Hospital in Abu Dhabi, said: “There is a growing need to raise awareness on endometriosis in the region. Overall incidence rate is 10 – 15 per cent, and 50 per cent of women suffering from fertility problems are affected by endometriosis. Number of cases are increasing and women need to understand the symptoms and the importance of early detection, and having the right diagnosis early on. The diseases could be controlled and treated effectively if diagnosed early.”

In addition to the talk on endometriosis, health talks throughout the day also included a presentation on the difference between Polycystic Ovaries and Ovarian Cysts presented by Dr. Walid Sayed, Medical Director and IVF Consultant HealthPlus Fertility Center; a talk on fertility health wellness by Dr. Bohaira El Geyoushi, medical director and consultant obstetrician gynecologist and fertility at Orchid Reproductive and Andrology Services; and a talk on face lifting new techniques by Dr. Christeen Youssef, Dermatology & Aesthetic specialist and CEO at Everlast Wellness Medical Center. Lastly, a very interactive presentation was given by Dr. Lavinia Lonita, CEO of Omixy, UK on personal omics for personalised prevention.
