Preempting Disease, Poverty, and Climate Harm

The world is losing a war it should never have to fight—struggling under the dual burdens of preventable infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
The Challenge: A Broken System
No system exists to train physicians in holistic preventive care.
Current health systems rely on overburdened curative specialists, creating a “maze” for patients.
A woman wanting routine screening must navigate a maze of specialists who often don’t exist where she lives:
- Radiologist for mammography
- Gynecologist for Pap smear
- Gastroenterologist for colonoscopy
- Ophthalmologist for glaucoma screening
- Dentist for oral care
- Psychologist for mental health
The image below illustrates this confusing journey, where patients often face closed doors and uncertainty.

Too often the doors are closed, the journey is impossible, and the outcome is fatal.
A Story of Millions: On New Year’s Day 2002, a widow with 100 % preventable cervical cancer was carried by her daughters into a Nigerian mission hospital. She died because no one had ever screened her. Her story is repeated millions of times every year.
This is indefensible!

The Solution: Introducing “Preemptology”
The Institute of Preemptology creates the world’s first medical specialty dedicated to institutionalized prevention—Preemptology.
Preemptology integrates:
- Comprehensive preventive screening
- Public & global health
- Primary care & emergency medicine
- Non-clinical competencies: management, IT, biomedical engineering, ethics, and policy.
It is no longer enough. to translate discoveries from “Bench-to-Bed”. IoP extends excellence into communities:
“Bench-to-Bed-to-Biosphere.”
The Vision of the Institute of Preemptology (IoP)
The Institute of Preemptology represents a bold reimagining of global healthcare.
Prevention institutionalized as the foundation of medicine.
- Shift from reactive sick‑care to proactive healthcare
- Build a sustainable ecosystem for equitable access
- Train versatile leaders — Preemptologists — to anticipate and avert crises
Goals & Impact

- Train 10,000 Preemptologists (1 per million people)
- By 2035:
- Eliminate cervical cancer
- Save 60 million lives
- Unlock $1.6 trillion in productivity annually
- Ensure diversity & gender equity in the workforce
The Strategy: People-Centered Care
- The “One Encounter” Model: One Preemptologist delivers comprehensive screening in a single visit covering cancer screening, diabetes control, glaucoma detection, family planning, vaccination, mental-health first response, and more.
- The Preemptive Health Zone (PHZ): Communities organized into zones of 1 million people each.
- Mobile Outreach: High-tech mobile clinics ensure no one is left behind.

Sustainability & Equity
- Climate Action: Preempting disease reduces healthcare’s carbon footprint (currently 4× higher than the automotive industry).
- Poverty Shield: Protects families from poverty caused by catastrophic illness.
- Expansion of Access to technology: Removes barriers and expands access to diagnostic technology in underserved regions, by replacing need for multiple specialists to operate preventive equipment.
The Institute of Preemptology Complex (IoPC)
The IoP is designed as a world-class hub for innovation in preemptive healthcare— structured around four strategic pillars. Each component of the IoP is designed to address a critical gap in today’s healthcare landscape, ensuring that prevention is not an afterthought but a permanent pillar of medical science.

To prove the model in Nigeria, institutionalize Preemptology as a permanent medical specialty, anchor it with world-class infrastructure, and secure its perpetual global scalability, four interdependent pillars are required — with a total capitalization of $55.55 billion deployed in phased commitments.
1. The Institute of Preemptology (IoP) | COST $50 MILLION
- Training & Coordination Hub: Doctors educate in the new discipline.
- Referral Preemptorium: For cases beyond the scope of the mobile health centres.
- City Consultants: Specialists in diverse disciplines —dedicated not primarily to the fixed centres but to communities, ensuring expertise is accessible to all.
2. The IoP Medical School | COST $500 MILLION
- Global First: The first school to integrate Preemptology as a core clinical rotation.
- Institutional Change: Establishes prevention as a central pillar of medical training.
- New Generation: Produces doctors equipped to combat the dual burden of infectious and non-communicable diseases.
3. The IoP Comprehensive Cancer Centre | COST $5 BILLION
- The Anchor: A prevention-focused tertiary center for cancer and major NCDs.
- Closing the Gap: Bridges the severe infrastructure gap in the Global South.
- Focus: Addresses the most visible catastrophic driver of poverty.
4. IoP Endowment Fund | COST $50 BILLION
- Perpetual Sustainability: Perpetual independence from economic shocks.
- Universal Access: Capital to replicate the model globally.
- Global Scalability and Long-Term Impact: Permanent resources to adapt to future threats across centuries.
- Generational Commitment to Preemptology: Immortalizes prevention as a pillar of medicine.
Together, these four pillars form a complete, self-sustaining ecosystem that finally makes preemption the foundation of global health.
Strategic Location
Flagship Complex: Enugu, Nigeria Selected based on the A.C.I.D. Criteria:
- A – Accessibility: International Airport, good road network, and a statewide network of 260 Primary Health Centres connected by EHR.
- C – Clinical Education Hub: Hosts multiple medical educational institutions, including the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH).
- I – Innovation: The birthplace of smallpox eradication (Dr. Bill Foege and Dr Andrew Anazonwu), the cholera vaccine (Prof. Njoku-Obi) and more.
- D – Diversity: A long-standing tradition of inclusivity.
By launching in Enugu, IoP will tackle inequity where the need is greatest, while scaling globally.
International Office: Atlanta, USA
- Hub: International hub for global health.
- Logic: Strategic location for stakeholder engagement.
Mobile Health Units
The IoP utilizes a high-tech fleet to bring quality integrated preemptive healthcare to the community:
- PinkCruise: Fully equipped mobile health centre (mammography, sonography, colonoscopy, colposcopy, cryotherapy, minor surgery, vaccine storage and labs).
- PinkVISSION: Mobile Eye Centres.
- PinkDentist: Mobile Dental Centres.
(Supported by “City Consultants” for complex cases)

Guiding Principles
IoP institutionalizes the Foegean Fundamentals (lessons from smallpox eradication):
- Causality
- Collaboration
- Conscience

The Urgency
COVID-19 proved reactive systems are fatal.
Preventable NCDs kill 40 million annually.
We must shift into overdrive—lives are at stake.
