World Health Tourism Congress

Revolutionizing Global Health

Francesca Giobbi believes that the key to a long and healthy life lies in the powerful synergy between preventive and allopathic medicine. Her focus is on advanced check-ups to prevent conditions such as hormonal imbalances, burnouts, depression, menopause, and obesity – issues that significantly impact quality of life.


To bring this vision to life, Francesca, through Freedom eE, has formed a strategic alliance with Ghassan Aridi – one of the most visionary minds on the global stage. Ghassan has been the mastermind behind transformative projects such as the iconic Palm Islands in Dubai and played a pivotal role in the revitalisation of Hong Kong and the restructuring of real estate investments in Monaco. Now, he is leading the development of Oman as a destination even more exclusive than Dubai, integrating health, tourism and education to create lasting impact.


Globally recognised for connecting the pillars of Medicine, Tourism, and Education, Ghassan is a key figure in strategic negotiations with Middle Eastern health ministries and Fortune 500 companies, consolidating billion-dollar investments in health and wellness.


This partnership takes center stage at the World Health Tourism Congress (WHTC), to be held in Marbella on February 17-18, 2025. The WHTC brings together the most innovative initiatives in preventive and allopathic medicine, offering a unique platform to shape the future of global health.

With the WHTC, Francesca has a clear objective: to embed preventive health and wellness into the world’s largest healthcare budgets. This initiative represents not only a significant step toward transforming access to healthcare but also toward creating a sustainable and inclusive global market.
