Commenting on International Women’s Day, Hasan Jasem Al Nowais, CEO of Mubadala Health, said: “Under the directives of our wise leadership, the UAE has made significant strides in supporting women and enabling them to contribute to the progress of our country. Women in our nation have always been inspired by H.H Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women's Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, and the 'Mother of the Nation', who constantly empowers them, supports their ambitions, and highlights the key role they continue to play in the development of our community.”

He added: “Women have always played a pivotal role in the advancement of healthcare in the UAE. At Mubadala Health, we are proud that women represent more than 68% of our workforce and that Emirati women make up 15% of employees across our network. These numbers are proof of the outstanding contribution that women have made across the Mubadala Health network in providing patients with world-class care.” 

He concluded: “We are committed to supporting women further enhance their participation in the healthcare sector. In our communities, we will continue to lead the way in women’s health issues by offering dedicated services in line with international best practice across Mubadala Health facilities.”
