Born and raised in Egypt, in a family who was in the medical field, Dr. Gendi grew up with an understanding of promoting health and a desire to help alleviate the suffering caused by disease. Medicine for her was a calling and studies were a long meditation and prayer. She learned that creation is precious, especially the human beings whom she sees as a big family all over the world.

In medical school at Cairo University School of Medicine in Egypt, Dr. Gendi finished her training in adult cardiology and conducted two projects on rheumatic heart disease and hypertension.
During and after her training in Egypt, she had the opportunity to travel and work in different cultural environments, including France, the United States, the Arab Gulf, State of Qatar where she helped settle their congenital Echolab for pediatric cardiology and ACHD.
