THE MULTILINK CONSORTIUM

Search for:

The Multilink Consortium: is a UK National Institute for Health and Care
Research (NIHR) funded programme administered through LSTM with five partner
organisations. It is being conducted in Malawi and Tanzania and seeks to design
and test a system that identifies patients suffering from multiple chronic
diseases (multimorbidity) when they seek emergency care in sub-Saharan African
hospitals. The overall aim is to improve early disease treatment, ensure better
follow up (prevent complications, disability and hospital readmission), thus
improving health related quality of life and survival rates.

The research is funded till August 2025 by the National Institute for Health and
Care Research (NIHR).



Map of Africa with location of Tanzania and Malawi

Multimorbidity is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa due to high burdens of
infectious disease (such as HIV) and rising rates of non-communicable diseases
(such as hypertension and diabetes). The prevalence of multimorbidity increases
as people live longer and can be worsened by HIV and the drugs required to treat
it. Patients frequently delay seeking help until they are severely ill,
affecting the poorest people most, meaning that emergency departments are key to
healthcare delivery, and might be targeted to identify sufferers and link them
to the most appropriate primary care services for ongoing treatment

 The team will define how multimorbidity differs from high income countries so
that the intervention is locally relevant, and then test it in a clinical trial
across both countries. The leadership team includes Charity Salima, a community
group leader, ensuring that patients’ voices are driving the research agenda.
