unnamed
As youngsters look to build their careers and independent lives, there are less of them who find time to look after their aging family members.
Despite a law that stipulates stringent punishments in Oman, several elderly persons are being forced to live a lonely life, in some cases being abandoned by their children, as an unfortunate impact of rapid urbanisation.
“Many youngsters have wildly varying relationships with their parents, and different feelings about taking care of them. Whatever the personal histories, they have an ethical responsibility to make sure that their loved ones are safe, secure and getting the attention they need”, asserts Dr Hamed al Sinawi, Senior Consultant, Old Age Psychiatrist at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital.
