Ontario’s Halton Region in Canada has proudly announced Dr. Deepika Lobo, as the incoming commissioner of health and medical officer of health. Tasked with overseeing public health and paramedic services, Dr. Lobo will manage a budget exceeding $100 million.
Earlier Dr. Lobo garnered acclaim within the Canadian Indian community by earning the prestigious Allan J Greve gold medal award for her exceptional academic performance during her MBA studies in health services management at DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University.
Upon relocating to Canada with her husband fifteen years ago, Dr. Lobo encountered challenges typical of skilled immigrants, finding it difficult to secure employment in her field. Through unwavering determination, Dr. Deepika Lobo completed her residency in public health and preventive medicine at McMaster University’s DeGroote School of Medicine. Her appointment as Halton Region’s commissioner of health signifies a continuation of her impactful journey, with confidence expressed by Gary Carr, Halton’s regional chair, in her ability to uphold strong public health services and ensure residents’ well-being.
Dr. Deepika Lobo’s journey underscores her dedication and achievements. Initially schooled at St Mary’s School in Mangaluru, she pursued medicine, graduating with distinction from Kasturba Medical College. (Collected from the public domain)
