Findings reveal unique Qatar-specific obstacles, such as regulatory restrictions on narcotics and cultural norms affecting death at home, while offering opportunities to improve training, policies, and awareness. These insights are crucial for integrating culturally sensitive PC into home-based systems, potentially reducing hospital burdens and aligning with global aging trends.
