About the charity
Founded on compassion. Built on governance.
Ijeh’s Integrated Health Initiative SCIO exists to dismantle the healthcare inequalities that quietly shorten lives in diaspora and underserved communities across Scotland and the wider UK.
Our charitable purpose
The advancement of health — by promoting and providing syndemic, integrated healthcare services for the public benefit, and by working in partnership with other bodies to further that aim.
Our vision
A Scotland where your heritage no longer predicts your health — where every community has the knowledge, screening and support to live a longer, healthier life.
Founder & Trustee
Dr Cyprel C. Ijeh
Dr Ijeh is a medical practitioner and a specialist-in-training in Pharmaceutical Medicine, bringing more than a decade of experience across conventional and functional medicine. His technical expertise spans Pharmaceutical Clinical Research (Phases I–IV), Pharmacovigilance, and Occupational & Environmental Medicine.
Underpinning all his work is a persistent commitment to confronting the health inequalities that determine who stays well and who does not – both in the United Kingdom and globally.
Dr Ijeh founded IJEH’s Integrated Health Initiative after witnessing, time and again, how preventable illness falls hardest on diaspora and underserved communities. Too often, disease is caught late – and too often, timely care remains out of reach.
His approach blends frontline clinical expertise with a deep commitment to health justice, delivering screening, education, and early detection directly to those who need them most.
As Medical Director of Stemax Consult and CYP Health Ltd, Dr Ijeh brings international grounding in public health, healthcare management, and medicines safety. His guiding conviction is simple yet powerful: good health should reach every community.
