While attending medical school in Malawi, Africa, Victor G. L. Makwinja noticed a recurring problem in the hospitals—broken equipment. After hearing more about equipment breakdowns, he decided to find out more about the causes of such problems. This led him to start reading about healthcare technology and best practices in its management.

He was planning to fund the program himself, but the scholarship was enough to cover all of his tuition fees.
