The Cameroonian medical community, especially in Douala, mourns the loss of Dr. Félix Lekefack. The medical biologist passed away on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in California, United States.
A respected figure in the field of biomedical analysis, Dr. Lekefack was best known as the promoter of the Louis Pasteur Laboratory located in Deido, Douala. A close source describes him as "a discreet but powerful builder."
Located in Deido since 2006, the Louis Pasteur Laboratory has quickly established itself as a reference point thanks to its scientific rigor and modernization, notably through the computerization of patient files. The laboratory offers a comfortable environment and is equipped to carry out precise and reliable analyses.
In nearly two decades of activity, Dr. Félix Lekefack worked to improve access to quality biomedical analyses in Cameroon, thus strengthening the confidence of patients and clinicians in private laboratories. His expertise also extended internationally, collaborating with Inovie Africa on the development of laboratory networks in Africa.
Carine Djomani, his goddaughter, praises "the man of vision, the tireless worker" who instilled "dignity, rigor and audacity." His death represents a significant loss for the health sector in Cameroon, where he contributed to sanitary modernization.
The Louis Pasteur Laboratory, located opposite the MRS service station in Deido, offers a wide range of services, including hematology, parasitology, microbiology, biochemistry, hormonology, and immunology analyses. The laboratory is authorized by Ministerial Decree No. 2194/MINSANTE/SG/DPM/SDPL/SLAB of December 6, 2007.
Cameroon has lost a key player in its healthcare system, whose commitment has left a mark on the medical biology landscape.
