Collaborative whitepaper "Silent Systems, Loud Burden" establishes the conceptual foundation for a forthcoming Preventive Health Readiness Index to be unveiled at FII10 in Riyadh in October 2026

Riyadh, 4 June 2026 - FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) and the Future Investment Initiative ("FII") Institute, a global non-profit foundation with an investment arm and one agenda; Impact on Humanity, have jointly published Silent Systems, Loud Burden: Why We Are Building a Preventive Health Readiness Index - and Why It is Important for Investors and Policymakers, a new whitepaper report that introduces a conceptual framework for measuring how prepared countries and health systems are to prevent future health burdens before they emerge.

Developed by FTI Consulting's global Healthcare team within the firm's Strategy & Transformation segment in collaboration with FII Institute, the report explores one of the most significant challenges facing healthcare systems globally: the persistent imbalance between investment in prevention and spending on treatment and crisis response. Despite growing evidence demonstrating the long-term value of preventive health measures, health systems worldwide continue to allocate the vast majority of resources to reactive care. The report argues that a lack of consistent and comparable measurement has made it difficult for policymakers, investors and health system leaders to assess readiness, identify gaps and prioritise action.

"Healthcare systems around the world face growing pressure from rising chronic disease burdens, evolving public health threats and increasing fiscal constraints," said Oussama Nicolas, Head of Healthcare, Middle East, Strategy & Transformation at FTI Consulting. "Yet despite broad recognition that prevention delivers better long-term outcomes, there remains no consistent way to assess whether countries are truly equipped to prevent future health burdens. This report is an important first step toward addressing that gap. By establishing a common framework for preventive health readiness, we hope to support more informed decision-making, more targeted investment and ultimately more resilient health systems."

The report proposes a structured approach to understanding preventive health readiness, examining the policy, funding, data, digital, access and capacity enablers required to support effective prevention across a range of health threats, including non-communicable diseases, infectious diseases and injuries. It is intended to provide a foundation for future dialogue among policymakers, investors, healthcare leaders and researchers on how prevention can be measured, strengthened and prioritised.

"This report reflects the strength of the collaboration between FTI Consulting and FII Institute and our shared commitment to advancing ideas that create meaningful impact," said Antoine Nasr, Head of FTI Consulting Middle East and Head of Strategy & Transformation, Middle East. "By bringing together FTI Consulting's healthcare and strategy expertise with FII Institute's global platform and focus on the future of humanity, we are helping to drive an important conversation about how health systems can become more proactive, resilient and sustainable."

This publication serves as a precursor to the launch of the Preventive Health Readiness Index, which FTI Consulting and FII Institute are developing as a practical tool to assess preventive health capabilities across countries and health systems, with key findings and insights showcased during the 10th edition of FII Institute's flagship conference FII10, taking place in Riyadh on October 26-29, 2026.

The report also aligns with FII Institute's broader Healthy Humanity agenda, which identifies prevention as a critical pillar in improving long-term health outcomes, economic resilience and societal wellbeing. October's Preventive Health Readiness Index is expected to provide governments, investors, healthcare organisations and international institutions with a structured and comparable assessment of preventive health capabilities, helping to identify opportunities for targeted intervention, investment and system improvement.
