Is there a Need for Home Health Care Services?

Life is becoming too sophisticated, with increasing daily pressure, which might be related to modernization. Everyone is by all accounts occupied and have no time, neither for themselves nor for social bonds. Health problems, on the other hand, are increasing, in particular, non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The latter are prevailing worldwide but more in the developing countries in particular obesity which has reached a scary figure in the Gulf Countries with a prevalence reaching more than 50% [1]. Moreover, the complications of NCDs have escalated leading, in addition, to disabilities and loss of effective workforce, economic constraints that became catastrophic to countries suffering from poverty which may hinder the proper and efficient provision of health care services to the population. Adding to these issues, the fact that the world is aging, and the population trend is changing making more of older people are living in solitary. They at this stage of life need more preventative health attention to be conveyed to them at home, since they may not access health services at the institutions.
