Dubai: New handbook empowers caregivers to manage menstruation for people of determination

Aster Clinics, part of Aster DM Healthcare, has launched A Handbook for Caregivers: Menstrual Management in the People of Determination. This guide aims to support caregivers in addressing the challenges of managing menstruation for young girls and women of determination, providing practical strategies and fostering an inclusive approach to menstrual health.

Authored by Dr. Mehnaz Abdulla, the handbook addresses hygiene management, symptom alleviation, and effective communication during menstruation. Dr. Mehnaz, a specialist at Aster Women Clinic in Al Qusais, shared that her inspiration came from witnessing caregivers struggle with menstrual issues. The guide includes visual aids and actionable steps to help caregivers maintain the dignity and comfort of their wards.

The launch also introduced the SheShines Card, offering exclusive healthcare benefits such as priority services and discounts at select Aster Clinics. These initiatives underscore Aster’s commitment to inclusivity and empowerment.

Available free of charge at Aster Clinics across the UAE, the handbook and SheShines Card reflect the organization’s mission to enhance the quality of life for all, fostering a compassionate healthcare environment for people of determination.
