“Always give back to the community and make the world a better place to live!”

Specialist Gynaecologist/Infertility/Reproductive Medicine

Dr. Ruma Bhargava Chakraborty was born in Kolkata, West Bengal to Mr. Rabindranath and Mrs. Manju Chakraborty. Her family moved to Mumbai during her high school years, and she pursued her childhood dream of becoming a doctor. She completed her MBBS from TN Medical College, Mumbai, and pursued her MD in Obstetrics and Gynaecology from Grant Medical College, Mumbai. She also holds degrees like DGO, DNB, and DICOG in Gynecology, along with an MBA in Healthcare. Her career began as a Gynaecologist at ESIS Hospital, Andheri, Mumbai.

She married Dr. Ravindra Bhargava, a Radiologist, and moved to Saudi Arabia where they worked for four years. They have two children, Ramita and Rajit. Infertility being her area of interest, Dr. Ruma received specialized IVF training from the Institute of Reproductive Medicine, Kolkata, and Hommerton Hospital, London. She has been working in the UAE since 2005 at Panacea Medical Centre, Dubai, and Conceive Gynaecology and Fertility Hospital, Sharjah.

Dr. Ruma is a member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and the Indian Society of Artificial Reproduction. She frequently attends international conferences and has been an international delegate to various Gynaecology and Infertility congresses in Delhi, Kolkata, Nagpur, and Nepal.

She believes that challenges reveal hidden talents. Dr. Ruma emphasizes the importance of time management between work, family, and friends. Despite her busy professional life, she ensures quality time with her children through annual international holidays. She enjoys movies, music, reading, cooking, nature walks, and meditation during her personal time.

Her passion for perpetual learning drives her in the constantly evolving field of medicine, especially infertility. She dreams of opening charitable centers in India to offer infertility treatments to less fortunate couples, as she believes parenthood is a right for all.

Dr. Ruma faced her biggest challenge in 2010 when she lost her husband to cancer. Balancing her professional responsibilities while raising two young children was difficult, but with the support of her parents and God’s grace, she persevered. Today, her daughter is a medical graduate and her son is studying engineering.

Her message to the community is to always share a part of what you earn with those less fortunate and let your actions uplift humanity.
