What started as a small clinic facility in Deira has since expanded beyond Dr Soudah’s wildest imagination, and has become an award-winning facility of the highest kind and quality. Focusing on a great many areas, Dr Soudah always take the greatest care of her clients, and delivers amedicinal service that goes above and beyond expectations. Following yet another success for Dr Soudah and her clinic, we take a further look at her work and achievement in being crowned the Best Bioidentical Hormone Doctor (Middle East). Since being opened in 1999, Dr Leila Soudah Clinic has come a long way and changed throughout the years. Today, the clinic focuses on obstetrics, gynaecology, and infertility, undertaking all modern and highly competitive techniques and technologies the aforementioned fields. Everyone working at the clinic, including Dr Soudah herself, is incredibly motivated and goal-oriented in providing preventative and personalized medicine in all areas of female healthcare. The clinic does not just cater to patients across the United Arab Emirates, but also serves women and families who have travelled specifically to the country to seek high quality healthcare services. Dr Soudah’s work has always been focused on empowering women across the Emirates in getting dedicated and comprehensive women’s reproductive healthcare and prenatal care. Every staff member cares, and that is shown in every service administered. One of the core beliefs that underpins the service provided by Dr Soudah and her clinic’s team is that a healthy woman means a healthy family, and a healthy family means a healthy society as a whole. Particularly in the Middle East, menopause patients are not given enough attention, especially when they begin to feel weak and stressed due to greater hormonal changes in the body. At Dr Soudah’s clinic, the team is committed to helping patients in the perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause stages through an innovative form of therapy, called Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). This gives women their health and power back, enabling them to function and support their society in the best possible way. Dr Soudah has committed herself to give special attention to the BHRT, and has seen impressive results in women feeling empowered and committed to bettering themselves and understanding the menopause more than before. However, COVID-19 has inevitably played a role in Dr Soudah’s ability to continue her administration of this innovative new therapy. What the pandemic did do, was open the clinic’s eyes to a great many other issues. It started Zoom-based consultations for those who could not attend the clinic, and is now planning to offer that service worldwide. Just recently, Dr Soudah herself has also had a meeting with insurance companies in a bid to discuss establishment of a preventative medicine program that is aimed at women specifically. Preventative medicine should be a part of medical practice generally, and it is a particular area of excitement for Dr Soudah moving forward. At present, as the pandemic is still ongoing, Dr Soudah is also in the Dec20205 process of working on a new teaching workshop that explores, in detail, her innovative BHRT hormone therapy. As part of this teaching workshop, Dr Soudah is also planning for the fellowship exams for hormone therapy at the Dr Hertoghe Medical school in Belgium. Dr Hertoghe himself is one of the foremost and most prolific writers on the subject of hormone treatment and longevity, and he is now working on how to improve immunity. There is a wealth of potential here, and Dr Soudah’s commitment to understanding hormone therapy even more is nothing short of admirable. She is driven to ensure that every woman, both inside and outside of the United Arab Emirates, has the chance to experience later life without the pain and frustration that is often caused by the menopause. Having dedicated her life to the betterment of her patients, it is no surprise that Dr Soudah continues to deliver innovative medical services and achieve greater things for herself, and her clinic in Dubai.
