Interdisciplinary perspectives on multimorbidity in Africa: Developing an expanded conceptual model
Multimorbidity is an emerging challenge for health systems globally. It is commonly defined as the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions in one person, but its meaning remains a lively area of academic debate, and the utility of the concept beyond high-income settings is uncertain. This article presents the findings from an interdisciplinary research initiative that drew together 60 academic and applied partners working in 10 African co…
Barriers to global engagement for African researchers: A position paper from the Alliance for Medical Research in Africa (AMedRA)
African researchers continue to face numerous barriers that limit the global dissemination and advancement of their research. These include high open-access publication fees, requirements for publishing in high-impact journals, inability to attend or host international conferences, and limited access to published papers and resources. In this viewpoint, we focus on the specific challenge of attending [...]
Epidemiology of multimorbidity in low-income countries of sub-Saharan Africa: Findings from four population cohorts
We investigated prevalence and demographic characteristics of adults living with multimorbidity (≥2 long-term conditions) in three low-income countries of sub-Saharan Africa, using secondary population-level data from four cohorts; Malawi (urban & rural), The Gambia (rural) and Uganda (rural). Information on; measured hypertension, diabetes and obesity was available in all cohorts; measured hypercholesterolaemia and HIV and self-reported asthma w…
Experiences of multimorbidity in urban and rural Malawi: An interview study of burdens of treatment and lack of treatment
Multimorbidity (presence of ≥2 long term conditions (LTCs)) is a growing global health challenge, yet we know little about the experiences of those living with multimorbidity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We therefore explore: 1) experiences of men and women living with multimorbidity in urban and rural Malawi including their experiences of burden of treatment and 2) examine the utility of Normalization Process Theory (NPT) and Bur…
Establishing and operating a ‘virtual ward’ system to provide care for patients with Covid-19 at home: Experience from The Gambia
Health systems in sub-Saharan Africa have remained overstretched from dealing with endemic diseases, which limit their capacity to absorb additional stress from new and emerging infectious diseases. Against this backdrop, the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic presented an additional challenge of insufficient hospital beds and human resource for health needed to deliver hospital-based COVID-19 care. Emerging evidence from high-income countries su…
