The hospital’s announced sessions cover newborn care, pregnancy nutrition, oral health and maternal wellbeing as the three-day exhibition brings families together at The Arena, 360 Mall.
Royale Hayat Hospital is bringing its specialists into the conversation at Kuwait’s Mama + Baby and Kids Expo, with an educational programme addressing questions that accompany pregnancy, childbirth and the first years of family life. The exhibition runs from 24 to 26 September 2026 at The Arena, 360 Mall, giving the hospital a setting in which to connect its medical expertise with an audience of parents and expectant families.
The participation puts a practical focus on Royale Hayat’s longstanding association with women’s and children’s healthcare. For visitors, it offers a reason to build specialist talks into a day at the exhibition, alongside discovering products, exploring services and spending time with family. For the hospital, it brings its clinicians’ work into a public setting where health education is part of the visit.
Preparing for a baby’s first weeks
Among the hospital’s announced expo sessions is a talk by Dr. Mazen Alessa on a newborn’s transition to life outside the womb and the early weeks that follow. Registered dietitian Heba Ben Salamah is also announced for a session on nutrition during pregnancy and the dietary needs of expectant mothers.
The hospital’s medical-team directory identifies Dr. Alessa as head of its neonatal unit and newborn nursery, and a consultant paediatrician and neonatologist. It lists Ben Salamah within its nutrition team. Their involvement connects the public programme with professionals working in the relevant clinical departments, giving visitors a clear introduction to the expertise behind the sessions.
Placing these subjects within a family exhibition gives preparation for parenthood a wider meaning. Buying essentials is one part of getting ready; making time to understand the care surrounding a new arrival is another. A public talk can provide a starting point for that learning and help visitors identify what they would like to explore further with their own healthcare team.
Attention to mothers and growing children
The announced programme also includes oral-health sessions involving Dr. Anood Alrajahi and Dr. Salman Ben Nakhi, addressing pregnancy and children’s dental care. Dr. Alia Ali Ibrahim and Dr. Yassmin Othman are listed for a joint discussion of allergies and breathing concerns. Dr. Sarah Al Youha’s announced contribution concerns bodily changes after pregnancy and childbirth, with an emphasis on individual medical assessment.
This range gives the hospital’s participation relevance to families at different stages. The programme includes subjects concerning the expectant mother, the newborn and the growing child, while making space for women’s own concerns after giving birth. Taken together, those choices suggest a family-health approach that continues beyond the delivery itself.
The hospital’s directory identifies the participating professionals across dentistry, respiratory medicine, allergy and immunology, and plastic surgery. That breadth is useful context for visitors deciding which subjects to prioritise. A family arriving with an interest in newborn care may find a separate topic relevant to an older child or to the mother’s wellbeing.
Health education within a family event
The organisers describe Mama + Baby and Kids Expo as a gathering combining products, services, education and interaction with specialists. Its categories extend across maternity essentials, family health, nutrition, child development, education and play. Royale Hayat’s programme fits within that wider format by giving medical subjects a place alongside the exhibition’s retail and family activities.
The setting matters because it creates several reasons to attend. One visitor may be preparing for a first baby, another exploring services for a growing child, and another accompanying a family member. Specialist sessions give those different visitors an opportunity to devote part of their day to learning, without requiring the entire visit to revolve around one subject.
The potential value is in the connection between the exhibition and what follows it. A useful session can leave a parent with a clearer question, a better understanding of the relevant specialty or a topic to raise at a future appointment. Those are modest but practical outcomes for a public education programme.
A natural extension of the hospital’s roots
Royale Hayat’s involvement is closely connected to its origins. According to Al Mulla Group’s hospital profile, it opened in 2006 with a focus on women and children, before expanding into additional specialties in 2009. The institution has since developed a broader clinical offering while retaining maternity and children’s services within its identity.
At the expo, that background becomes relevant through the people and subjects in the programme. The emphasis falls on explaining aspects of care to families, bringing several areas of expertise into the same event. It is an opportunity for visitors to encounter the hospital through its specialists and their educational contributions.
Planning a visit
The expo’s official registration information lists opening hours of 10am to 10pm across the three days at The Arena, 360 Mall. Visitors interested in a particular Royale Hayat session should check the latest programme and registration instructions through the hospital’s and organisers’ channels before attending, as the exhibition’s general opening hours do not establish individual talk times.
For families planning their visit, Royale Hayat’s participation adds a focused educational element to the weekend. Alongside the products and services on display, its announced programme gives pregnancy, newborn care and family wellbeing a place in the conversation.
