The Institute of Preemptology

“It is indefensible that no system exists anywhere in the world to train physicians to deliver holistic preventive care.” – Dr Kin Egwuchim 

The Institute of Preemptology (IoP) is an evolution of the work of mass medical mission. IoP pioneers a new architecture for health by training physicians to deliver holistic preventive care to finally eliminate this disastrous blind spot in global health, and make quality preventive healthcare affordable and accessible to all regardless of their age, gender, creed or ethnicity.

For over 20 years, as physicians, surgeons, and global health stewards, our founders have witnessed the brutal cost of this chasm.

Over the years, they have witnessed mothers lose their only children to preventable diseases. Universal Health Coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals hang by a thread. Global health functions like a deadly lottery, where geography or income determines who lives and who dies.

“This crisis is deeply personal—ten of my family members were lost to cancer in quick succession, including a breastfeeding mother.

The memory of New Year’s Day 2002, while serving at a mission hospital in Oyo State, Nigeria—has never left me. A widow in her forties was rushed to the ER by her frightened daughters, bleeding profusely from terminal cervical cancer—a disease that is 100% preventable. We lacked the infrastructure to save her at this late stage. I reflected on the missed opportunities to screen this woman during previous perinatal visits. The absence of a preemptive health system had failed her. The era of reactive medicine must end.” – Dr Abia Nzelu

The work of mass medical mission in Nigeria proves it’s possible. Through its Mobile Health System, mass medical mission has been reaching underserved communities—using 15-minute cryotherapy to stop cervical cancer before it starts, diagnosing other cancers early, preempting endemic diseases, dispensing free eyeglasses, and delivering essential medical and dental care to those with zero access.

This is the power of Preemptology—a global movement built on decades of innovation, dedicated to early detection and swift action for everyone, everywhere. Through IoP, a system is been built to train 10,000 Preemptologists (one per million people) to scale this proven model globally.

Join us on this once-in-a-generation journey. Together, we can:

  • save 60 million lives
  • eliminate cervical cancer as a public health crisis (WHO goal)
  • unlock $1.6 trillion in global productivity
  • finally make Universal Health Coverage a reality.

with unwavering hope and complete resolve.
