“Prevention and awareness of the health risks that are specific to women can help to save millions of lives every year. We look forward to the realization of this exciting new event that will help the wellbeing of women in the UAE,” said Simon Page, Group Director Life Sciences at IIR Middle East. “It is important that the female population be educated on these life threatening diseases that affect them and their families, especially since many of these risks can be prevented.”

Cancer prevention will be discussed by the Dubai Health Authority on Thursday 24th April and Saturday 26th April at 8.30pm, and the NMC will address breast cancer at 7.30pm. Alternative medications and treatments will also be addressed, from acupuncture to organic products while the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery will speak about what options they can provide women.

Running from 4.00pm to 9.30pm every evening, the programme has been designed to fit into as many women's schedules as possible, encouraging a greater spectrum of women in the UAE to attend and learn how they can prevent, cure and treat modern day risks and concerns, from heart disease and obesity to dental care and medical tourism.

Women's Healthcare, the first healthcare event in the UAE dedicated to women, runs alongside The Bride Show Dubai and Al Bayt Al Arabie at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre from 23-26 April 2008.
