A special session by Dr. Shweta Adatia, Specialist Neurologist at RAK Hospital to focus on effective stress management techniques that can help counter the negative effects of stress in life.

“Women are the backbone of the family and have a vital role to play in building societies and nation. Women wellness is a priority for us and that’s why we wanted to celebrate Emirati Women’s Day by empowering women with the right tools through which they will be able to nurture themselves in the most perfect way”, said Dr. Raza Siddiqui, Executive Director of RAK Hospital.

“Emirati women now occupy 66 per cent of government jobs, including 30 per cent of senior decision-making positions and 15 per cent of specialised academic posts. Women’s contribution to economic activity and the labour market has steadily increased and with so much work life pressure they should master the art and science of time management to focus on the health of their mind and body. This is just a small step in that direction to ensure they look after themselves so that we can have a strong nation.  Our intention is to increase the awareness about women’s health issues that usually remain the last in the priority list”, added Dr. Raza.
