In the absence of old age homes and nursing centers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there is lack of information on how to properly take care and handle those old aged people who are suffering from the Alzheimer's disease. Such patients who live with their families and relatives are unable to receive proper treatment and care because of the nature of the Alzheimer's disease. It becomes very difficult to understand the symptoms and the condition of a patient if one is not aware or does not have any prior knowledge about the Alzheimer's disease. This has been a common problem prevalent in the Saudi society for the patients suffering from the Alzheimer's.
Although, it has been quite late when it comes to a disease like the Alzheimer's, the Saudi government has taken notice and initiative of the disease in the country. In 2002, following a national survey and a medical symposium at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Hospital where several neurologists gave their presentations regarding the nature, danger and risks of the Alzheimer's disease, it was announced that the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Hospital would collaborate with various national hospitals in carrying out a national survey that evaluated the number of existing Alzheimer's patients in the country (Hassan, 2002). This was to be achieved through registering patients at the hospitals as they would check in. Following the survey, the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Hospital conducted several seminars in the flowing years and has continued its research upon the disease till date I search of a cure for this disease, while also creating awareness and creating information channels so that people could be made informed about the disease, the treatment and care techniques.

In 2009, the Deputy Minister of Interior Prince Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz inaugurated the establishment of the Saudi Association for Alzheimer Disease (SADA). With this move, the government intended to spread awareness to the general Saudi public about the Alzheimer's disease and its dangers, its prevention methods and care techniques, in order to ensure that the disease did not affect the masses in an uncontrolled manner. The association was also targeted to ensure to put in efforts in the fight against the Alzheimer's disease, whilst also pushing to locate appropriate treatments and other factors for the disease. The association functioned through charitable donations from the Saudi government while it was supported in its efforts by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry...

Lack of accountability, transparency and integrity, ineffectiveness, inefficiency and unresponsiveness to human development remain problematic (UNDP). Poverty remains endemic in most Gulf States with health care and opportunities for quality education poor or unavailable, degraded habitats including urban pollution and poor soil conditions from inappropriate farming practices. Social safety nets are also entirely inadequate and all form part of the nexus of poverty that is widely prevalent in Gulf countries.
Starting at that point, Saudi Arabia became divided into the supporters of the U.S.-led coalition, which were the members of the royal family, and the anti-western views promoted by Osama bin Laden and other wealthy, but not royal Saudis. The opposition to the royal family viewed them as protecting their own interests and not being true Muslims. Religion was used by these extremist groups to justify the opposition towards
