In a unique celebration of Emirati Women’s Day, 30 professionals—ranging from veteran clinicians to emerging leaders—boarded an Etihad Rail train for a symbolic journey from Abu Dhabi to Fujairah. Organized by Burjeel Holdings, this mobile forum bridged the gap between three generations of women in the healthcare sector. The atmosphere was one of reflection and mentorship, as senior leaders shared stories of a time when female representation in medicine was scarce, contrasting those early struggles with the vast, diverse opportunities available to their younger colleagues today.

The discussions highlighted how the pioneering spirit of early Emirati professionals paved the way for the current workforce to pursue bolder ambitions with newfound confidence. Nutritionists, administrators, and doctors alike acknowledged that their career paths are intrinsically linked to the national progress of the UAE. By fostering an environment of open dialogue between mentors and mentees, the event underscored a vital truth: each generation does not just inherit progress, but actively builds upon it to ensure that the future of the nation’s healthcare remains in capable, empowered hands.
