Movement Disorders: An Urgent Health Challenge in the UAE
A Growing Concern
Movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremor, are neurological conditions that disrupt the ability to control body movements. They profoundly affect independence, emotional well-being, and the quality of life for patients and their families.
In the UAE, these disorders are becoming a significant healthcare challenge due to factors like an aging population, lifestyle changes, and limited access to specialized care.
Alarming Statistics
- Rising Prevalence: Parkinson’s disease alone affects over 10 million people globally, and cases in the UAE are increasing due to the country's rapidly aging population.
- Top Health Concern: Neurological disorders are among the leading causes of disability in the region, with a disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rate of 3,647 per 100,000 population, as reported in the Global Burden of Disease study.
- Impact on Mortality: Neurological-related deaths in the UAE range between 160–219 per 100,000 population, underscoring the need for immediate action.
- Diagnosis Gap: A significant percentage of cases go undiagnosed or untreated due to low public awareness and a lack of specialized diagnostic tools.
The Ripple Effect on Families
Movement disorders don’t only impact the patients. Families and caregivers bear a significant emotional, financial, and physical burden. From managing everyday activities to providing constant support, their challenges highlight the urgent need for better resources, awareness, and healthcare options.
