Abstract

Sleep disorders are increasingly being recognized as a major health problem in the UAE. The rising prevalence, potentially modifiable risk factors, and impact on global health outcomes have prompted the growth of sleep medicine. The burden of under-recognized disease has encouraged patient and physician-centric education. Supported by nationalized health insurance plans, the medical fraternity has adopted a multi-disciplinary approach to optimize resources and outcomes, while recognizing that these measures are initial steps in the unique challenges posed.
