Daleela Launches Region's First Free Women's Health Summit in Cairo
Daleela Launches Region's First Free Women's Health Summit in Cairo From PCOS to motherhood, Daleela's summit brings Arab women's health into focus; free, accessible, and built for her. 'This pain is normal.' 'I didn't know this was even a thing.' Sentences like these echoed in the mind of Nour Eman, founder of women's health platform Daleela, for years. She heard them from women all across the MENA region, from every walk of life. Now, through Daleela, Eman is rewriting the script. After years of building an AI-driven health assistant and a platform rooted in real, accessible care, Daleela has launched its first live Women's Health Summit in Cairo: a free, unapologetic space for education, healing, and community. 'We wanted to take everything we've built digitally - the AI assistant, the diagnostics, the content - and bring it to life in a way that feels real, human, and communal,' Nour Emam tells CairoScene. The summit's scope is expansive. It spans medical deep-dives on conditions like PCOS and endometriosis, panels on birth trauma and body image, and taboo-shattering sessions on FGM, period shame, and sexual confidence. But it's also deeply emotional, integrating workshops, breathwork, and movement designed to address trauma that lives in the body, not just in charts. 'Women's health isn't just physical,' Eman says. 'We carry silence and shame in our nervous systems. The workshops are just as important as the science.' One of the summit's most anticipated panels is Motherhood Unfiltered, hosted and moderated by the founder herself. 'Because I've lived it, the beautiful parts and the messy parts,' she explains. 'I didn't want it sugar-coated. I wanted women to hear the truth and feel seen.' What makes the summit unprecedented is how open it is. There are no pricey tickets, no exclusivity. All attendees need is the Daleela app. 'We built this platform to make healthcare more accessible, not more gated,' she says. 'Making the summit free was never a marketing decision, it was a valuable one.' The event also centres regional voices, with Arab practitioners and specialists leading the charge. 'Too much women's health advice online is filtered through a Western lens. We wanted women to feel represented, not lectured.' More than just a one-off gathering, this summit is part of Daleela's bigger vision: 'The summit plants the seed, but the daily app experience, the content, the partnerships, that's where the long-term shift happens. This is about changing how women in our region access care, feel seen, and stay informed.' And for women attending for the first time? 'I hope they walk away feeling more connected to their bodies, and less ashamed of them. If even one woman walks out feeling a little lighter, it's all worth it.'

Essential Nutrition Strategies for Ramadan
Throughout the year, Muslims embrace voluntary fasting, culminating in the compulsory fast during the sacred month of Ramadan. This spiritual practice serves as a pathway to draw closer to God and aspire for the blessings of Paradise. Research has highlighted the myriad benefits of fasting for both physical and mental well-being. However, it's not uncommon for some individuals to experience fatigue, lethargy, and reduced productivity during this time. As a compassionate response, many organisations adjust working hours and lessen the demands placed on employees observing the fast. To maintain energy and focus while fasting, selecting the right ingredients for Iftar (the evening meal) and Suhoor (the pre-dawn meal) is essential. Dr. Eman Sayed Ali, Consultant in Family Medicine, advises a balanced approach: 'To enjoy a healthy Iftar without the unpleasant effects of overeating—such as bloating, heartburn, or sudden drowsiness—choose to eat gradually, rather than indulging in a large feast all at once.' Nutritionist Taif Ahmed recommends a thoughtful start: 'As the call to prayer echoes, break your fast with dates, followed by healthy fats like nuts or sesame tahini, and perhaps some yoghurt or a protein-rich soup, such as one with chicken. This strategy helps moderate blood sugar levels, preventing an immediate drop at the end of your meal.' Taif further emphasises the importance of timing, suggesting that the main meal should commence after the Maghrib prayer, ideally featuring a salad or vegetables first. 'Fibre acts like a sponge in the intestines, prolonging the sensation of fullness,' she explains. Following this, focus on protein sources—including chicken, meat, fish, eggs, or shrimp—and healthy fats like olive oil drizzled over salads, olives, or avocados. This balanced distribution can help manage blood sugar levels effectively. To further regulate blood sugar, Taif suggests having a preliminary light snack—perhaps some nuts paired with a piece of fruit—or even a modest serving of sweets following a handful of nuts. Essential Nutrition Strategies for Ramadan Dr. Eman underscores the significance of eating slowly and chewing thoroughly, noting, 'It takes about 20 minutes for the brain to register fullness. By pacing yourself, you allow your brain the necessary time to signal satiety, thus curbing excessive consumption." Suhoor, being the last meal consumed before dawn, is vital for sustaining energy throughout the day and reducing thirst. Dr. Eman advises, 'Aim for a balanced meal rich in protein—think eggs, legumes, yoghurt, cheese, fish, and chicken—alongside wholesome starches. Opting for fibrous whole grains like oats and sweet potatoes, along with ample fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats such as nuts and olive oil, will make all the difference.' Including potassium and magnesium-rich foods like lentils, bananas, yoghurt, cucumbers, chia seeds, and a variety of vegetables will help mitigate dehydration and stave off thirst during fasting, as Dr. Eman confirms. Additionally, steering clear of certain foods can enhance the fasting experience. Dr. Eman cautions against fried foods, those laden with salt and sodium—such as pickles, processed meats, and fast foods—as well as spicy dishes overflowing with sugar or fats, like sweets and pre-packaged juices. By making mindful choices and embracing a balanced diet during Ramadan, one can truly enrich their fasting journey and nourish both body and spirit.
