Women experiencing menopause often find themselves moving between multiple specialists to manage symptoms ranging from hot flushes and sleep disturbances to changes in heart, bone and cognitive health. A new programme launched in Dubai aims to bring that care together under one coordinated pathway.
Chughtai Clinic, located in Dubai Healthcare City, has introduced Decoded MenoMind, an integrated menopause programme designed for women in perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause. The service combines medical assessment, mental health support, nutrition, physical wellness and lifestyle guidance into a single care plan.
Rather than treating menopause-related concerns separately, the programme focuses on the broader impact of hormonal changes across different aspects of health, with an emphasis on maintaining long-term wellbeing and healthy ageing.
The care pathway covers six key areas: hormonal assessment, cognitive and mental health, clinical nutrition, cardiovascular, bone and brain health, physical wellness, and emotional and lifestyle support. Women begin with a comprehensive assessment and diagnostic work-up before receiving a personalised treatment plan with coordinated follow-up appointments.
Dr. Omar Chughtai, CEO of Chughtai Clinic, said women often consult multiple specialists independently, which can delay diagnosis and treatment.
The programme also places greater emphasis on mental health, recognising that symptoms such as mood changes, anxiety, poor sleep and difficulty concentrating are common during menopause but frequently overlooked. According to Dr. Balu Pitchiah, Consultant Psychiatrist and co-founder of MenoMind, integrating psychological care into menopause management is an important step toward improving quality of life during the transition.
An additional feature of the programme is support for partners and family members, acknowledging that menopause can affect household dynamics as well as individual health.
Decoded MenoMind is now available at Chughtai Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City.
