The Global Vision Trade Organization (GVTO) was delighted to welcome Miss Shalom Genene from Ethiopia at its ASEAN office, where she was received with warmth and traditional hospitality. Miss Genene plays a very strategic role in medical tourism, serving as a vital bridge between patients in Africa and world-class healthcare in India.
A Strategic Partner in Medical Tourism
Miss Genene's work focuses on guiding patients from Ethiopia and the wider African region to trusted, high-quality, and affordable treatment options in India. Her deep understanding of patient needs, combined with GVTO's hospital network, has created one of the most effective Africa–India medical tourism corridors in operation today.
The Partnership in Numbers
- 37+ hospital tie-ups across India — GVTO has helped facilitate partnerships with more than 37 leading Indian hospitals, spanning multi-specialty care, cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, fertility, and more.
- 4,375+ patients in 2025 — over 4,375 patients were referred to India in 2025 alone for various treatments, each supported through the patient journey from consultation to recovery.
These numbers represent far more than statistics — they represent thousands of families who accessed quality treatment that transformed their lives.
Discussions at the ASEAN Office
During her visit, discussions focused on scaling the partnership further — expanding the hospital network, streamlining patient facilitation and visa support, improving post-treatment follow-up, and exploring new specialties in demand across African markets. The teams also discussed extending the model to additional countries in the region.
Looking Forward
GVTO thanked Miss Genene for her dedication and strategic leadership, and both sides reaffirmed their commitment to making world-class healthcare accessible to more patients across Africa. With the foundation of 37+ hospitals and thousands of successful patient journeys, the partnership is poised for even greater impact in the years ahead.
