About Our Founder

“It is my unwavering understanding that if Africa can put more resources in disease prevention, while rationally managing disease, we will not only be healthier but can certainly save a lot of money that can be diverted to other priority health programs. This is a part of the reason why I have grown a deep interest in my state government health programs in Nigeria. I perceive ownership in all major state government health programs in Edo State, Nigeria.”
— Dr. Pius Ehi Omoruyi, MD, MPH, RN, Chair/CEO of OMO Foundation, Inc. and OMO Global Health Services Solutions, Inc.

Dr. Pius Ehi Omoruyi received his medical degree from Comenius University Czechoslovakia (1973-1979), postgraduate in obstetrics and gynecology program in Nigeria and United Kingdom (1980-1988), RN certification in Boston (2000), and Master in Public Health from Drexel University, USA (2008-2010). He worked in hospitals, community health centers, nursing homes, group homes, and care centers at various levels of responsibilities.

Specific Objectives

• To promote strategic policies on preventive healthcare in Nigeria.
• To increase awareness on measures that target disease prevention.
• Collaboration with other existing healthcare-related NGOs and health organizations to maximize utilization of available PHC programs and also to promote active citizen participation in preventive measures.
• The establishment of a universal Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system and emergency preparedness programs.
• The role of birth attendants/midwives in rural PHC, traditional healers, safe drugs, and mental health.
• School Nursing Services Programs
• Encouraging healthcare professions and politicians to promote health policies at local, state, and federal levels. “The poor are less likely to regularly eat healthy foods and acquire basic needs including affordable quality healthcare than the rich.” (Hope and Dreams, 2008).
• This organization is focusing on health education, disease prevention, and awareness of killer diseases (cancer, DM HTN), communicable diseases (TB, Ebola, Lassa fever), endemic malaria and sickle cell disease, healthy lifestyles and wellness, and prioritizing agriculture.

Why Is Our NGO Different

• Our NGO is different from other healthcare providers by the vision statement of “shifting from disease‐focused healthcare to wellness‐focused healthcare.”
• Our NGO’s biggest selling point is the awareness that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of treatment.”
• What is unique to OMO Foundation, Inc. is that the medical staff of this NGO has produced several comprehensive preventive healthcare books, including Emerging Infectious Pandemics 1918, 2019, COVID-19 Global Impacts (Resources for discussion and workshops).
