Middle East Network on Ageing Research MENAR started in 2006 in attempt to fill the gap on research on aging in the Middle-East. Research is an essential prerequisite in developing the speciality further in the area, and in developing evidence-based practice. MENAR has taken so far a number of initiative and established a number of projects.

We are launching as part of MENAR the Middle East Network on Elderly Care Services MENECS.
The aim of the MENECS is to develop further the services in the field of aging in the region in in particular to do the following:

  1. To build a network of elderly care facilities in the region.
  2. To do collaborative health services research within the area, and with other networks.
  3. To lobby for financial support for health care services in the Aging field from different organisations.
  4. To help in the development of training programmes in the field of ageing
  5. To organise conferences that deals with health care service for the elderly.
  6. To establish a number of experts from a multidisciplinary background to act as advisors and mentors.
  7. To foster collaboration between different health care facilities providing elderly services.
  8. To help in the exchange of ideas in the field of health services in the area.

Membership in MENECS is being developed rapidly, and now includes representatives from different countries in Eastern Mediterranean region. Membership from different health facilities dealing with the elderly is being solicited at this time. Membership is free, however any potential contribution will be helpful in strengthening the network. In order to become a member you need to fill the form available in the mini website.
