THE CURRENT HEALTH STORY AND STATUS OF DR. MARTIN EKOUMOU

From December 2024 to April 2025, I traveled to Cameroon–my original Country in Africa where I was invited to help establish the very first Country’s School of Public Health. While there in Cameroon, I was infected by a fulminant E. Coli Bacterium which caused an explosive watery diarrhea daily, and which made me lose 63 Pounds; and which was detected when I returned to America / the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, this past April. Praise God and thank to all those who have been praying and helping me all along. I’m now recuperating fairly well from this this health ordeal which nearly took my life!

Despite the health ordeal which nearly killed me, currently, I’m moving on with my life, and as a Healthcare Public Servant and a Defender, I am committed to fulfill my Life High Calling which is to keep on serving and defending the very best way, not necessarily my surrounding world, but so much more the Rio Grande Valley People and the Communities by ratifying a novel Healthcare Project- the sorely needed establishment of the State–of-Art Healthcare Plaza based on the following two unique entities: DON’T LOSE HOPE GLOBAL (DLH- GL) – a Nonprofit Public Service Organization and THE VALLEY HUB (TVH) - a One-Stop- Shop Diagnostic Testing that I recently and officially incorporated here in the State of Texas for the Greater Good of the Rio Grande People and the Communities in South Texas.

The RGV is the Nation’s hardest hit region by lifestyle diseases.

Here, Diabetes and Obesity are rampant, and the statistics have been

Staggering for the past consecutive 5 years.
