Fertility is a fast-moving area full of innovation, and for Dr Jyotica Ruba, helping couples and individuals have babies is a continuation of her life’s work.

As the daughter of the first female GP in Newcastle, Dr Ruba grew up on stories of her mother’s work as a doctor. This work extended far beyond the clinic, including delivering babies and assisting with home births in the 1970’s. From this inspirational upbringing the die was cast, with Dr Ruba growing up to have her own highly respected career as an obstetrician, gynaecologist, and fertility specialist.

For Dr Jyotica Ruba, delivering fertility information in an understandable way is a guiding principle of her practice. She has begun the Fertile Ground podcast to help demystify the fertility process and answer common questions that her patients have.
