The review focused on studies conducted in LMICs\u2019 PHC settings from January 2010 to December 2023. Papers were extracted from the following databases: PubMed, EBSCOhost and Google Scholar. Framework analysis was undertaken to identify barriers and facilitators for strengthening MLTC-M primary care according to the five health system pillars in the Lancet Global Health Commission on High-Quality Health Systems Framework.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The literature search yielded 4322 citations, evaluated 202 studies and identified 36 for inclusion. Key barriers within the people pillar included poverty, low health education and low health literacy; within the platform pillar, fragmented services and lack of multimorbid care guidelines were mentioned; within the workforce pillar, lack of required skills and insufficient health workers; and in the tools pillar: a shortage of essential medicines and adverse polypharmacy effects were prominent. A lack of political will and the absence of relevant national health policies were identified under the governance pillar. Facilitators within the people pillar included enhancing self-management support; within the platforms, pillar included integration of services; within the tools pillar, included embracing emerging technologies and information and communication technology services; and governance issues included upscaling interventions to respond to multimorbid care needs through enhanced political commitment and financial support.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Potential solutions to strengthening the healthcare system to be more responsive to people with MLTC-M include empowering service users to self-manage, developing multimorbid care guidelines, incorporating community health workers into multimorbid care efforts and advocating for integrated person-centred care services across sectors.
