The 2024 "JESSICA's Most Successful Women Award" Ceremony, sponsored by the Women's Well-being Foundation, was held on July 18, 2024, at the Island Shangri-La Hotel in Hong Kong. This event brought together outstanding women from various fields, including business, technology, sports, and healthcare, who shared their successful experiences and journeys in their careers and personal lives.
During the Fireside chat session, we invited two Obstetrics & Gynaecology specialists from The Women's Clinic Group, Dr. Emily Lam and Dr. Alice Wong, to share their valuable insights on preserving fertility and women's menopause.
Dr Lam first discussed the recent technological breakthroughs in assisted reproduction, such as advancements in oocytes (eggs) and embryo freezing, as well as embryo implantation. She encouraged career-oriented women to plan their childbearing timeline early on in order to prepare for future family planning.

We hope that the Women's Well-being Foundation can continue to organize more specialized seminars like this and collaborate with like-minded organizations, such as JESSICA, to create a platform that supports women's health and wellness. This is just the beginning of the foundation's initiatives. In the future, we look forward to hosting more exciting events that provide comprehensive support for women's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
