Tatenda Makoni

Fellow

Tatenda Makoni is a medical student, writer, and care activist originally from Zimbabwe, shaped by growing up in a place where care often arrived unevenly.
Her understanding of medicine was influenced by the HIV epidemic and by witnessing both the presence and absence of attentive, humane care within her family and community.

She is interested in HIV, infectious diseases, pediatrics, and public health, especially in the gap between medical advances and the people who are all too often left out of their reach.

As a writer, her work explores grief, neurodiversity, and the moral dimensions of care, drawing on her lived experience as an AuADHD trainee.

As a Fellow with Patient Revolution, Tatenda hopes to learn alongside others and help create models of care grounded in dignity, access, and presence.
