The GCC Menopause Hub Expands Focus with New Women’s Health Festival in Dubai
Dubai, UAE- The GCC Menopause Hub has announced the launch of All About Her Festival, a new women’s health event taking place at Mohammed Bin Rashid Library in Dubai on Thursday, 21 January 2027.
Building on the success of three GCC Menopause Summits held in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the festival is set to explore all aspects of women’s health and wellbeing from periods, hormonal health and fertility to nutrition, mental wellbeing, menopause, healthy ageing and longevity.
Supported by Mediclinic as headline sponsor, the immersive experience will combine keynote speeches and TED-style talks with hands-on workshops, fitness sessions, wellness activities and product demonstrations.
The main stage will feature leading healthcare professionals providing expert insights into a range of medical topics, as well as women sharing their own personal experiences. Visitors can also explore a Brand Discovery Zone showcasing women’s health products, services and innovations; a Nutrition Kitchen offering demonstrations and practical insights into nutrition and gut health; and a Confidence Studio focused on skin, hair, beauty, and self-care.
The festival’s outdoor spaces will include a Wellness, Fitness and Recovery Garden, dedicated to movement and strength, yoga, relaxation and recovery, alongside the Garden Souq overlooking Dubai Creek, where visitors can purchase health, wellness and lifestyle products.
Sharon James, Co-Founder, The GCC Menopause Hub, said: “Our previous summits showed how much women value having somewhere to ask questions, learn from experts and connect with each other. We also know menopause doesn’t exist in isolation. Women’s health is a continuous journey, so expanding the conversation was a natural step. Every space at the All About Her Festival has been designed to inspire learning, encourage conversations and provide practical information, while maintaining the supportive sense of community that guides everything we do.”
Women spend 25% more of their lives in poor health than men, according to research from the World Economic Forum and McKinsey Health Institute. The same research found that closing the women’s health gap could add at least US$1 trillion to the global economy annually by 2040. All About Her Festival aims to help address the gaps in knowledge, education and access to support experienced by women across the GCC.
Dr. Sara Alom Ruiz, Chief Commercial Officer, Mediclinic Middle East added: “At Mediclinic Middle East, we believe that supporting women’s health means recognising their needs at every stage of life. We are proud to continue our partnership with The GCC Menopause Hub as headline sponsor of the All About Her Festival, an initiative that broadens the conversation around women’s health and wellbeing. From reproductive and hormonal health to menopause and healthy ageing, women deserve access to trusted medical advice, personalised care and the knowledge to make informed decisions about their health. Through this partnership, we hope to encourage more open conversations, raise awareness and empower women to take a proactive approach to their health and wellbeing.”
