Favorite:

Wargha Enayati was born in 1964 in Germany to an Iranian family. He came to Romania in 1983, at the height of the communist regime, after starting his medical studies at the University of Regensburg. He was attracted by the life and activity of Queen Marie of Romania. He spent his first year studying the Romanian language in Suceava, followed by several years of medical studies in Cluj. After the 1989 revolution Dr. Enayati was one of the few Germans who chose to complete his university studies here and remain in Romania, moving to Bucharest to specialize in cardiology at Fundeni Hospital.
Dr. Enayati is the physician of the German Embassy and the Lufthansa airline in Bucharest. In 1995 he founded Centrul Medical Unirea, currently one of the top providers of private medical services in Romania and leader on the corporate subscription market. In 2009 the private equity fund Advent International became the company's majority shareholder.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED- like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event.

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
