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.'
