Implication

Qualitative research uncovers challenges and opportunities for integrated care in Malawi and Zimbabwe, highlighting critical gaps in health systems.

Key Points

  • Multimorbidity represents a rising challenge in healthcare, particularly in low-resource settings like Southern Africa.
  • Findings highlight significant gaps in vertical and horizontal integration of chronic care services.
  • Key challenges include uneven funding, frequent drug stockouts, and inadequate clinician support for noncommunicable diseases.
  • The Integrated Chronic Care Clinic model could enhance care integration for all diseases, beyond those related to HIV.
