GlobalMed in deal to launch Africa operations

SCOTTSDALE, June 30, 2016

US-based GlobalMed, a global industry leader in telemedicine delivery systems, has selected The Mbaoua Group in Côte d’Ivoire to oversee opportunities and deployments in Africa.

Yaya Mbaoua, CEO of Mbaoua Group, will leverage his multicultural business experience in Europe, North America and Africa to build an effective bridge for technology transfer to the emerging nations in Africa, said a statement from GlobalMed.

Joel E Barthelemy, founder and CEO of GlobalMed, said: “Facebook plans to use satellites, lasers and drones by the end of the year to get the next billion people around the world online.”

“Coupled with Google’s Project Loon, the balloon-based floating internet system, telemedicine will be able to reach regions that have never had it before,” he said.

Mbaoua was first introduced to GlobalMed at the American Telemedicine Association’s Annual Conference in Los Angeles, US.

Mbaoua has spent nearly 20 years in technology product and business development in telecom, advertising, and most recently in healthcare as the vice president of international sales and business development for Med1 and Healthcare and vice president of product management for Rally Health.

While at Med1, Mbaoua forged relationships with public health systems throughout Africa and the Caribbean, said a statement.

He said: “Telemedicine will play a critical role in positively impacting Africa’s health care problems,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
