Preventive medicine appears to get a bit of sense from nearly all those senses of the verb: preparation and aniticipation coupled with preclusion and hindrance. In fact, preventive medicine is more focused on preparation.
But, I will admit, the text you've provided, tsuwm, is one I'd misread and am thankful to have your clarification. The text makes little sense when read with the newer shift in meaning.
