Increasingly, developed countries are finding that their biggest challenge is dealing with people who do not just have one chronic disease; they have several. They have "multiple morbidities", and health systems must change to address the health needs of such people. This volume contains six background chapters that were prepared for the OECD and the Business Industry Advisory Committee conference on these issues.
