Prince Emmanuel Anyangwe Ngassa, MD, was born in the coastal town of Victoria, now Limbe, which at that time still belonged to West Cameroon. His parents were King Adii Lucas Anyangwe, the Third of Oshie in the North West Region of West Cameroon and Mrs Therese Wanji Ngassa, a primary school teacher. Dr Ngassa grew up with his loving grandmother, Ma'Mary Sinwo, on Ghana Street in Nkwen, a district of Bamenda in West Cameroon.

In 1987, he received a scholarship from the Cameroonian government to study medicine in the Federal Republic of Germany, or West Germany as it was also known at the time.After an intensive German course at the Carl Duisberg Institute in Radolfzell on Lake Constance from October 1987 to April 1988, Dr Ngassa then studied human medicine at the Georg August University in Göttingen from autumn 1988 to winter 1995, where he successfully passed his third state examination on 13 December 1995 and qualified as a doctor. Since then, Dr Ngassa has continued to develop as a physician and can now look back on a very eventful and successful working life as a doctor. In particular, Dr Ngassa qualified as a specialist in surgery on 09/09/2009 and has worked and continues to work as such in many medical departments and in various capacities.Prince Dr Ngassa has remained down to earth.
