Long-term care is a relatively new concept in the Middle East countries. Cultural norms in most of these countries define that children are responsible for taking care of their old parents, which makes people reluctant to opt for formal care. Increasing awareness about formal care is expected to propel the use of LTC facilities.

Initiatives such as Long-Term Care Facilities Conference, which was held in Dubai in June 2016, help in raising awareness, providing information about LTC, and reducing the stigma attached to it. The average enrollment rates in Middle East for public financing are higher in Kuwait and Qatar, and ranges from 9% to 17% in Middle East. In UAE, public & private partnership accounts for 14.8% LTC facilities.

Mergers & acquisitions in the region are expected to drive the market. For instance, in March 2021, Amanat Holdings, a Dubai-based healthcare firm, acquired Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center, a long term care firm based in UAE.
