Enoch Ndarama completed his primary school at Chilomoni L.E.A Primary School. He did secondary education at Henry Henderson Institute, he then got enrolled at the University of Malawi, College of Medicine in 2009 for Premedical Science and thereafter pursued and completed his Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) in 2015. Enoch underwent his internship at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, one of the three major public tertiary hospitals in Malawi, and finished in 2017. In the earliest stage of his career, he had the privilege of working in the city of Blantyre in Malawi, in a resource-rich private hospital where there was no lack of quality essential resources like medicines, diagnostic tests, medical equipment, imaging, human resource, and infrastructure. However, such services were only at the disposal of the rich people who could pay from their pocket with the poor still seeking care at understaffed and poorly resourced public healthcare facilities. With this work, he realized that he was drifting away from his heart’s desire – to work with marginalized communities to overcome a variety of healthcare disparities they face, and he quit the lucrative job to pursue his passion which was also the drive in him to become a medical doctor. When there was an opportunity to come and serve as a Primary Healthcare Doctor and District Medical Officer under the Ministry of Health in the rural district of Neno, Malawi, he gladly welcomed the change in direction and took it. Enoch is satisfied being part of this working environment and is excited about this fellowship training. He loves playing football and enjoys mountain biking – a new hobby.
