Nabta Health unveils first-of-its-kind center of excellence for tailored women's care
Dubai, UAE - Nabta Health, the region's leading hybrid healthcare company dedicated to women's health, is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking Center of Excellence — the first of its kind in the region. This world-class facility is based at CMC Hospital and will offer integrated, female-focused care across fertility, pregnancy, perinatal support, and menopause.
The Center of Excellence recognises that women's health extends far beyond traditional boundaries. The innovative model is built on a multi-specialty collaboration, uniting gynaecologists, endocrinologists, cardiologists, mental health professionals, and other experts under one roof to deliver truly integrated care that reflects the complex and interconnected nature of a woman's health.
What sets the center apart is its commitment to age, stage, and goal-specific care, recognising that every stage of a woman's life brings unique health needs. The integrated care teams deliver personalised treatment plans that evolve over time, whether it's supporting a 25-year-old preparing for pregnancy, a 45-year-old navigating perimenopause, or a 65-year-old focused on healthy ageing. From fertility optimisation to menopause management and beyond, we offer comprehensive care that adapts to each woman's individual journey. This holistic approach ensures that conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, cardiovascular disease, and hormonal imbalances are managed in an integrated manner rather than in isolation. By coordinating care across multiple specialties and tailoring interventions to each woman's specific life stage and health goals, the center moves beyond symptom management and empowers women to achieve optimal health and well-being at every stage of life.
"For too long, women have been forced to navigate a fragmented healthcare system that treats symptoms in isolation rather than addressing the whole person," said Sophie Smith, Founder and CEO of Nabta Health."Our Clinical Center of Excellence represents a fundamental shift, where collaboration replaces silos, where personalisation trumps one-size-fits-all approaches, and where every woman receives care that honours her unique journey and aspirations."
'This partnership exemplifies our commitment to pioneering healthcare excellence. By combining CMC's world-class facilities and clinical expertise with NABTA's innovative approach to women's health, we're creating a new standard of care that will serve as a model for the region and beyond,' said Mark Adams, CEO at CMC Hospital.
Nabta Health's Center of Excellence marks a significant advancement in women's healthcare and reinforces Nabta Health's commitment to innovation and improving health outcomes for women throughout the region.

UAE and Jordan Amplify Aid Efforts in Gaza Crisis
UAE and Jordan Deliver Humanitarian Aid to Gaza Amid Crisis Collaborative Efforts by the UAE and Jordan The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Jordan have intensified their humanitarian efforts in the Gaza Strip, conducting critical air missions to deliver aid to civilians during an ongoing humanitarian crisis. The UAE announced on Sunday that it completed its 54th humanitarian and relief air drop, according to the state-run WAM news agency. Meanwhile, Jordan carried out three air drops, one of which was coordinated with the UAE, as reported by the Petra News Agency. Aiming to Reach Isolated Areas The UAE emphasized that these missions aim to provide essential aid to civilians stranded in areas of Gaza that are otherwise unreachable by land. The air missions utilized C-130 aircrafts from the UAE Air Force and the Royal Jordanian Air Force, successfully delivering 25 tonnes of food and humanitarian supplies to affected areas. Israel's Limited Pause in Hostilities In a response to escalating global criticism and increasing humanitarian concerns, the Israeli military announced a 'limited pause' in fighting in three densely populated areas of Gaza: Gaza City, Deir Al Balah, and Al Mawasi. The pause began on Sunday, July 27, and is scheduled daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time until further notice. The stated goal of this tactical pause is to enable the delivery of aid and to address the acute hunger crisis affecting the population of Gaza. Rising Starvation and Malnutrition Reports from the Gaza Health Ministry reveal the gravity of the humanitarian situation. The ministry has recorded 133 deaths from malnutrition, including 87 children, with six new deaths reported in the past 24 hours alone. Among the tragic cases is that of a five-month-old infant, Zainab Abu Haleeb, who succumbed to malnutrition at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. International Alarm Over Humanitarian Crisis Global concerns over the deteriorating situation in Gaza have grown significantly. Aid organizations warn that the territory's 2.3 million residents are facing mass starvation, prompting calls for immediate action. On Sunday, the Egyptian Red Crescent dispatched over 100 lorries carrying 1,200 metric tonnes of food supplies into southern Gaza through the Karam Abu Salem crossing. Pressure on Israel Over Aid Restrictions A coalition of 25 countries, including France, Britain, and Canada, recently condemned the restrictive flow of aid into Gaza, calling Israel's withholding of humanitarian essentials 'unacceptable.' French President Emmanuel Macron's recognition of Palestinian statehood in September reflects an international shift toward addressing Palestinian suffering more directly. UN Pledges to Enhance Aid Efforts The United Nations has welcomed the limited ceasefire, viewing it as an opportunity to intensify aid delivery to Gaza's starving population. Speaking on his official account on X, UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher stated that teams on the ground are prepared to respond immediately. However, Fletcher cautioned about the catastrophic and worsening conditions in the enclave. UN's Call for Increased Access The UN highlighted the need for Israel to open crossings, allow the entry of fuel and equipment, and ensure the safety of humanitarian workers. Fletcher's office stated that if these measures are implemented, they could accelerate the distribution of essential aid, including food supplies, clean water, medical resources, and shelter materials, in Gaza. Deadlock in Ceasefire Negotiations Efforts to mediate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, led by Qatar, have hit a standstill. Both Israel and the United States acknowledged on Friday that negotiations had stalled due to Hamas's perceived unwillingness to reach an agreement. These developments occur as international scrutiny sharpens over Israel's handling of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Future Aid and Relief Prospects

What To Do With Unused Medicines in the UAE
What To Do With Unused or Expired Medicines in the UAE It's a familiar scene in many UAE households—half-used bottles of cough syrup, unopened boxes of antibiotics, and blister packs of expired painkillers gathering dust in a drawer. We often forget they exist until it's time to move, spring clean, or restock. But what should you actually do with unneeded or expired medicines? Can you donate them? Is it legal? Where do they go if you throw them out? Let's break it down. First Things First: Why You Shouldn't Just Toss Them Tossing medications in the trash or flushing them down the toilet might seem like the easiest option, but it's one of the worst. Medicines contain active ingredients that can harm the environment if not disposed of properly. Flushed pills can end up in water systems, while landfilled drugs can contaminate soil. Worse, improperly discarded medications might be retrieved and misused. Yes, it happens. So, what's the right thing to do? 1. Many people believe that expired medicine is just 'less effective.' That's not always true. After expiration, some medicines can break down into harmful compounds. Especially antibiotics, insulin, eye drops, and liquid formulations—they're sensitive to time and temperature. 2. In the UAE, donating medicines isn't just about kindness—it has to be done the right way. Here's a quick breakdown: 3. Is It Legal to Donate Medicines in the UAE? The UAE takes pharmaceutical safety seriously. It's illegal to sell or donate medicines privately without the approval of the Ministry of Health & Prevention (MOHAP) or a licensed charity. But don't worry—there are official channels you can go through: Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and MOHAP occasionally run medication return and donation drives. Registered charities such as Emirates Red Crescent may accept unopened, unexpired medications for distribution under medical supervision. Hospitals and clinics do not accept direct public donations—but may guide you to the right outlet. Important: Never give medicine directly to another person, especially prescription drugs. It's not just unsafe—it's illegal. 4. Where to Take Unwanted Medicines in the UAE Here's what you can do depending on your situation: 🧴 Expired or Opened Medicine: Return to your nearest pharmacy. Many large chains such as Aster, Life, and Medicina offer medicine take-back programs. Alternatively, take them to a municipal hazardous waste center in your emirate. 📦 Unexpired & Unopened Medicine: Contact MOHAP-approved charitable organizations, especially during donation drives. Check with local mosques or community centers, as they may be affiliated with licensed medical charity programs. Watch out for 'Medicine Donation Boxes' in some malls and hospitals during Ramadan or health awareness campaigns. 5. Pro Tips Before You Donate or Dispose Keep medicine in original packaging —do not transfer it into plastic bags or boxes. Don't mix different medicines together—it confuses pharmacists and creates disposal risks. Keep a record of the expiry date and batch number, in case the donation requires it. The Bottom Line: One Person's Leftover, Another's Lifeline In a country as health-conscious and generous as the UAE, managing medical waste properly is not only about cleanliness—it's about compassion and compliance. Every box of unused medicine is either a potential hazard or a potential gift—depending on how we handle it. So next time you open that forgotten drawer and find a stash of unused tablets, pause before you toss. You just might be holding someone's lifeline—or at the very least, doing your part to protect the environment and uphold the law.

These initiatives aim to prepare a new generation of healthcare professionals equipped to meet future challenges.
