Our Mission
MULTIPULM improves care for people with chronic respiratory conditions and multimorbidity through integrated, digitally supported models. The project makes high-quality care more accessible, scalable, and sustainable in low-resource settings.
Why Brazil, Serbia & Türkiye?
These three countries represent diverse LMIC healthcare environments, each with unique system structures, challenges, and opportunities. Local leadership ensures that solutions are grounded in real needs and positioned for lasting adoption.
The Problem We Address
LMIC health systems face rising chronic disease burdens, limited resources, and fragmented care. Current approaches often treat conditions in isolation, leading to poor outcomes and wasted resources. MULTIPULM addresses these gaps with coordinated, digital-enabled care.
Our Methodology
We use participatory frameworks and communities of practice to ensure our approach is evidence-based, context-aware, and sustainable.

Capacity Building
Engage stakeholders and deliver training to strengthen local implementation capabilities.
Tool Development
Co-create and adapt digital tools through participatory design & infrastructure setup.
Validation
Conduct large-scale studies to measure real-world effectiveness using the RE-AIM framework.
