New Report and Interactive Tool Assess 114 Countries Across the Systems That Enable Disease Prevention at Scale
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,November 2026 — FTI Consulting, Inc. NYSE: FCN and the FII Institute today announced the launch of the Preventive Health Readiness Index (PHRI), a new global report and interactive tool designed to measure how prepared countries are to prevent disease, rather than only how effectively they respond after illness occurs.
The PHRI evaluates 114 countries against 27 indicators across four dimensions: Policy & Governance, Funding & Incentives, Digital & Data and Access & Capacity. Together, these dimensions assess the policy architecture, financing structures, information infrastructure and delivery capabilities that enable countries to prevent disease equitably and at scale.
The report finds that the United Kingdom leads the overall Index, followed by Finland and Australia. It groups countries into four readiness tiers: 16 Advanced, 20 Established, 28 Developing and 50 Emerging. While the highest-ranked countries combine strength across all four dimensions, no country has completed the work of building a fully developed prevention system.
The findings also show that readiness is not determined by income alone. Several middle-income countries outperform wealthier peers, underlining that prevention readiness depends on system design, investment priorities and the ability to connect policy, financing, data and delivery. The report also finds that countries with stronger preventive health systems tend to demonstrate better population health outcomes.
Alongside the report, the interactive PHRI tool allows users to examine country performance across the overall score, the four readiness dimensions and their underlying indicators. It is intended to help policymakers identify system bottlenecks, support investors in understanding where capability and partnership gaps exist and give global health institutions a practical framework for directing support and resources.
“The Preventive Health Readiness Index is an important achievement for our Middle East Healthcare team and a strong example of what focused collaboration with a celebrated institute like FII can deliver. By converting a complex global health challenge into a clear and comparable framework, we are helping decision-makers identify where policy, investment and partnership can have the greatest impact. We are proud to have developed this work with the FII Institute and to launch it on a global stage in Riyadh.” said Antoine Nasr, Head of FTI Consulting Middle East.
“The PHRI reflects the best of FTI Consulting: deep sector expertise, rigorous analysis and the ability to bring together perspectives from across markets and disciplines. It provides governments, investors and health leaders with a practical basis for moving prevention from ambition to action. This is a significant contribution to the global healthcare debate and an achievement of which colleagues across EMEA can be proud.” said JW De T’Serclaes, EMEA Co-Chairman at FTI Consulting.
The PHRI builds on the June 2026 whitepaper Silent Systems, Loud Burden: Why We Are Building a Preventive Health Readiness Index and Why It Is Important for Investors and Policymakers, which established the conceptual foundation for measuring preventive health readiness. The new Index applies that framework through globally comparable data and provides a baseline that can develop as the international measurement base improves.
