H.E. Noura Al Suwaidi, Secretary-General of the General Women’s Union, said: “The Remarkable Emirati Women Summit reflects the wise vision of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, the Mother of the Nation, in empowering Emirati women and enabling them to be active partners in shaping the country’s future and prosperity. Through Her Highness’s unwavering support, Emirati women have become a global model of ambition, leadership and social contribution – turning positive impact into tangible achievements that advance sustainable development.
“At the General Women’s Union, we are committed to showcasing the success stories of Emirati women and celebrating those who embody the values of leadership, innovation and social responsibility that Her Highness has inspired throughout the nation’s remarkable journey”, H.E. added.
The Remarkable Emirati Women event will bring together over 600 inspiring women and men from diverse backgrounds for a full day of talks, panel discussions, masterclasses and mindfulness sessions. The programme is designed to foster dialogue, connection and collaboration among change-makers shaping the nation’s journey of growth and innovation.

Remarkable Emirati Women 2025 celebrates the power of impact – how ambition becomes action and leadership becomes legacy. At PureHealth, we are proud to stand at the forefront of this empowerment journey, supporting the UAE’s vision by championing the strength, resilience and determination of Emirati women who will continue to define progress for generations to come.”
A highlight of this year’s event will be the graduation of the second cohort of the Emirati Women Chapter, launched in 2024 in collaboration with the General Women’s Union to empower Emirati women across sectors. Founded by five Emirati women leaders, the Chapter nurtures growth through guidance, opportunity and mentorship.
PureHealth’s commitment to advancing Emirati women extends across multiple initiatives – from the Emirati Women Chapter to the Emirati Development Centre, which nurtures national talent through tailored training, mentorship and career-development programmes that prepare Emiratis to take on leadership roles across the Group. Alongside a range of community partnerships that promote inclusion and leadership in healthcare, these initiatives reflect PureHealth’s continued investment in Emirati talent, creating opportunities for growth and empowering women to lead across every level of the organisation and the wider healthcare ecosystem.
Since its inception, the Remarkable Emirati Women initiative has evolved into a powerful national movement that amplifies the voices and ambitions of Emirati women, supporting their personal and professional growth while strengthening their contributions to society. The 2025 edition continues this vision – an inspiring testament to the enduring leadership of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Mother of the Nation, and her dedication to empowering women as equal partners in the UAE’s progress and prosperity.
