Ahead of the celebration of Emirati Women’s Day on Monday, Emirati Aster Volunteers working with Aster DM Healthcare recently conducted a health and wellness programme for 50 underprivileged women supported by Emirates Red Crescent (ERC).

The event, named ‘Noor – Dreams Empowered' held at Al Mankhool Library, included a medical screening camp, health awareness sessions, and basic life support training. These sessions were aimed at equipping participants with essential health insights and life-saving skills.
