Press Release

Advancing Women’s and Children’s Health Through Innovation and Compassion

03 Mar 2025

At Danat Al Emarat Hospital for Women & Children, our mission is to empower women and families through personalized, world-class care. As a proud member of the M42 Group, our hospital stands at the forefront of specialized medicine in Abu Dhabi — combining the latest medical innovations with compassionate, patient-centered care.

A Center of Excellence for Women’s Health
Since opening our doors in 2015, we have remained committed to setting new standards in women’s healthcare. Our global accreditations from the Joint Commission International (JCI), Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) are a reflection of our dedication to safety, quality and continuous improvement.

Endometriosis Care That Changes Lives
Danat Al Emarat is proud to be one of only three Centres of Excellence in the UAE for multidisciplinary endometriosis care. Led by Dr. Zahid Khan, one of the UAE’s few Master Surgeons in Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery, our team utilizes advanced laparoscopic techniques to treat complex cases with precision and minimal recovery time. This life-changing approach draws patients from across the region and beyond, helping women finally find relief after years of misdiagnosed pain.

Pioneering Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation in the Middle East
In a groundbreaking step for women’s health, Danat Al Emarat is the first hospital in the Middle East to offer Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation (OTC) — a natural, hormone-free option to preserve fertility and delay menopause. This innovation, developed in collaboration with UK-based ProFaM, is integrated into laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis and other gynecological conditions.

By freezing and later re-implanting ovarian tissue, OTC can restore hormone function and protect fertility — offering hope to women undergoing cancer treatment or managing early menopause.

Leading the Way in PCOS and Menopause Management
Our experts are at the forefront of treating Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and menopausal symptoms with the latest therapies including GLP-1 receptor agonists and safer HRT options. With advanced treatments like OTC, we are helping women navigate midlife transitions with greater ease and confidence.

Prevention Starts Early
We champion proactive healthcare with age-specific screenings for every stage of a woman’s life:

  • 20s–30s: Pap smears, HPV testing and early metabolic screening
  • Before 35: OTC consultations for fertility and hormone preservation
  • 40s–50s: Mammograms, cardiovascular evaluations and menopause assessments
  • 60+: Bone health, colorectal screening, and cardiac follow-ups

Our team empowers every woman to take control of her health journey earlier and more effectively.

Specialized Care for Every Generation
Beyond gynecology, Danat Al Emarat offers a wide range of services across high-risk pregnancies, urogynecology, cosmetic gynecology and adolescent reproductive care. Our Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology services ensure early, expert support for young girls and teens facing hormonal or developmental concerns.

With a Level III NICU, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and leading pediatric subspecialties, we are equipped to provide life-saving care to newborns and children with complex needs.

Powered by Purpose. Driven by Outcomes.
Every year, we welcome over 5,500 births, handle more than 220,000 patient visits and perform upwards of 4,200 surgeries. These numbers reflect our unwavering commitment to excellence but more importantly, they reflect the trust our patients place in us.

“Women deserve better. At Danat Al Emarat, we deliver that promise through innovation, compassion and early intervention.” – Dr. Zahid Khan
