ABOUT DR. RITU RANA

[My Most Exciting Moment is] when I see a couple smile when they see their baby for the first time on ultrasound scan and listen to their heart beat.

Meet Your Fertility Specialist in Mackay

My name is Dr. Ritu Rana, and I am an OB-GYN and Fertility Treatment Specialist, providing support to couples in Mackay. I am a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (FRANZCOG) and a Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MRCOG, London, UK).

Medical Background

My journey includes seven years of obstetrics and gynaecology training in Yorkshire, UK, where I honed my skills in handling high-risk Obstetrics in NHS hospitals in Leeds & Bradford. My commitment to providing minimally invasive procedures for my patients led me to advanced training in gynaecology, specialising in laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery.

Additionally, I gained experience in diagnosing and managing gynaecological malignancies while working in a referral centre for endometriosis.

Particular Interests

With over fifteen years of experience in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, my passion lies in Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery, Infertility, High-Risk Obstetrics, and Labour Management.

This [Obstetrics & Gynaecology] is the only unique speciality where I get an opportunity to work with two lives at the same time.

My Fellowship

In 2011-12, I completed a fellowship in reproductive medicine at the Leeds Centre of Reproductive Medicine, UK, where I was part of a team that performed over 2000 IVF cycles. We provided valuable insights into infertility management, including assisted reproductive techniques such as IUI, IVF, and ICSI.

My commitment to excellence earned me the certificate for Early Pregnancy and Advanced Gynaecology Ultrasound Scan from the British Fertility Society.

What To Expect

It is perfectly normal to feel anxiety, embarrassment, and even shame with regards to your infertility. Having met with many couples across Mackay, Moranbah, Airlie Beach, Rockhampton, the Whitsundays, and surrounding regions, I’ve come to understand that no two medical histories or lifestyles are the same. That’s why I deliver individualised care because your issue is unique to you.

Together, we can navigate this journey with empathy, support and a personalised approach.

I appreciate an open and honest discussion with my patients. I’d like you to speak to me about your concerns, and in return, I’ll provide you with evidence-based choices that will help you make the best decision for yourself in your circumstances.
