Scotland-based digital health social enterprise empowering women and girls (13–55) with AI-driven tools, clinical partnerships and community-led education to accelerate diagnosis, improve care pathways and restore dignity to uterine and ovarian health.
Uterine Health Alliance was founded in 2025 by Vanessa Gbarale, after an eight-year journey through fibroids, ovarian cysts, repeated hospital visits, and major surgery.
What started as one woman’s search for answers has grown into a global movement empowering women aged 13–55 with the knowledge, support, and advocacy they deserve.
Vanessa experienced the confusion, fear, and isolation that so many women feel when dealing with uterine health issues. After years of misdiagnosis, progressive symptoms, and one life-altering surgery to remove a fibroid the size of a 32-week pregnancy, she made a promise:
No woman should face her uterine health journey alone again.
In 2025, Uterine Health Alliance was born — a community-driven organization supporting women across Scotland and around the world.
Diagnosis: fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis
Emergency laparoscopic surgery (ovarian torsion) & discovery of frozen pelvis
