Abu Dhabi: PureHealth has launched the Emirati Women’s Chapter (EWC) in collaboration with the General Women’s Union. EWC is a mentorship and upskilling initiative dedicated to empowering and inspiring Emirati women towards personal and professional growth across various industries.

The initiative follows PureHealth’s ‘Remarkable Emirati Women’ Forum, which is under the patronage of Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak (Mother of the Nation), President of the General Women’s Union (GWU), and Chairperson of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood. and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation (FDF) celebrated the achievements of Emirati trailblazers and stressed the importance of nurturing the next generation of women leaders.

The Emirati Women Chapter has been created with a clear mission to promote the advancement of Emirati women in every sector of society, aligning with PureHealth’s commitment to promote the UAE’s Emiratisation agenda. The inaugural pilot of the EWC will provide 28 Emirati women the opportunity to work with mentors to achieve their goals, contributing to the social and economic advancement of the UAE.
