For the period of his studies in China he lived in several cities including Jinan located in Shandong provinces and Xi’an situated in Shaanxi Province. He undertook a Chinese Language Study Program at Shandong University in Jinan which was a one-year program for international students. Shandong University is a key comprehensive university with a long history, a variety of disciplines, strong academic strength and distinctive characteristics which has great influence both at home and abroad. As an international student who studied at this University, he categorically enjoyed a high-quality learning of Chinese language and culture. Upon completion of this course, he undertook a Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) which was the pre-requisite prior to joining any medical schools in China. 

Dr Mallaba joined a Fellowship program in Laparoscopic surgery from the most prestigious institution “The John Radcliffe Hospital (JR)” notably the University of Oxford in England. The Oxford University has a peculiar and unique teaching system not only different from the world but also from the rest of medical schools within the United Kingdom. During his stay at Oxford, he was associated with Green Templeton College as an honorary temporary member which enabled him as well to get involved in college life. One day Dr Mallaba and his flat mates were invited to participate in a vibrant college night- life and above all, they deeply enjoyed the elegant formal dinners in the Radcliffe Observatory. Green Templeton College has two beautiful tennis courts, a squash court, and has several events such as live jazz evenings, international nights, and away trips to the home of William Shakespeare. 

In 2018 he earned a master’s degree of Business Administration in Corporate Management (MBA-CM) from Mzumbe University in Tanzania. The program is designed to provide competencies to future corporate managers to serve businesses at the local and international level. It is a professionally tailored program to meet the demand for well trained and skilled corporate managers who can contribute to undertaking key corporate roles and strategies through gathering, analyzing, interpreting and communicating corporate information that can facilitate decision making for successful achievement of the organization’s objectives.
