This article presents findings from interdisciplinary research initiative that drew together 60 applied partners working 10 African countries to answer questions: how useful multimorbidity within Africa? Can be adapted context optimise transformative potentials? During three-day concept-building workshop, we investigated definition was understood across diverse disciplinary regional perspectives, evaluated limitations existing concepts definitions, considered build context-sensitive, cross-cutting description multimorbidity. iterative process guided by principles grounded theory involved focus- whole-group discussions during thematic coding workshop discussions, further post-workshop development refinement. Three domains emerged discussions: current focus on constituent diseases; potential revised centre priorities, needs, social people living with (PLWMM); need respond varied conceptual priorities amongst stakeholders. These themes fed into expanded model centres catastrophic impacts can have PLWMM, families support structures, service providers, systems.
