Danat Al Emarat Hospital for Women & Children, part of the M42 group, has established a partnership with UK-based ProFaM to perform innovative ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC), empowering women with the means to preserve their fertility or delay menopause naturally. The announcement was made at Arab Health 2025, reflecting the UAE’s continued efforts to advance women's health and fertility solutions.
The OTC process involves freezing a small piece of ovarian tissue, ideally before the age of 35. This tissue can later be re-implanted during perimenopause to maintain hormonal balance and postpone menopause and its effects. If required, it can also preserve fertility.
