Reflecting on his path, Dr. Lobati was awarded a scholarship by the Cameroon government to study medicine in Germany. After completing his studies, he returned home in 1989 and practiced for four years alongside American missionary doctors who valued his dedication and encouraged him to pursue further training in the U.S. They facilitated his move, and he passed the medical exam in 1990, continuing his studies at the University of Missouri where he specialized in infectious diseases. Although he initially planned to return to Africa, marriage and family life led to settling in the U.S. He attributes his success to his Christian faith, supportive family, determination, and persistence. Looking to the future, he remains dedicated to practicing medicine and serving others. He believes that being called to serve in medicine is profound, embodying daily hard work and the privilege of helping the community despite any challenges or hardships.
