What it is
Hiya
By women. For women. With the lived experience. The flagship WHIS pillar launching preventative, social-prescribing-led women's health across the United Arab Emirates.
Hiya (هي) is the Women’s Wellness & Fertility Network — by women, for women, with the lived experience. Doctors save lives. They also create lives.
Launching across the United Arab Emirates, Hiya is a flagship WHIS programme for preventative, social-prescribing-led women’s health — aligned with the Global Social Prescribing Alliance (GSPA).
Founded by Rini Laskar, Hiya connects clinical excellence at The Doctors Hub Polyclinic in Dubai with community, behavioural support, and technology-enabled personalisation.
What Hiya delivers
- Preventive medicine & diagnostics — catching health and fertility challenges early
- Behavioural & emotional health — validating the mental toll of health journeys
- Data-driven personalisation — technology tailored to the individual
- Community support — connecting women through shared lived experience
Hiya aligns with WHIS GCC strategy and the GSPA movement — shifting focus from “what is the matter with you” to “what matters to you.”
