Career Experience

Dr Sumi Saha is a consultant gynaecologist specialising in infertility, endometriosis and pelvic pain management. She has over 15+ years of experience.

Most recently, Sumi has gained certification as a robotic gynaecological surgeon. This allows Sumi to use advanced robotic techniques to provide her patients with minimally invasive solutions for complex gynaecological conditions, enabling precise procedures, reduced discomfort, and shorter recovery times.

Sumi undertook her medical education at Dhaka University, where she completed a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) in 2005. After moving to Australia, Sumi then completed the DRANZCOG Advanced Diploma with the Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) in 2011.

While undertaking obstetrics and gynaecology specialist training at Flinders Medical Centre in Adelaide, Sumi was involved in her first IVF-related procedure, which is where her interest in reproductive and infertility medicine began. This experience inspired Sumi to undertake a Masters Degree in Reproductive Endocrinology at the University of NSW, which she completed in 2013.

Additionally, Sumi undertook a Masters Degree in Pain Medicine at the University of Sydney, which she completed in 2019. She also achieved specialist registration in Australian as an obstetrician and gynaecologist the same year when she achieved Fellowship with the Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists (FRANZCOG).

During her specialist training, she gained clinical experience at several tertiary hospitals in New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland and the ACT. Sumi particularly enjoyed her time working closely with the Genea Newcastle team at John Hunter Hospital. She secured a highly competitive position as a Laparoscopic Surgery Fellow at Gold Coast University Hospital, which involved an intensive one-year program learning new skills in complex gynaecological surgery.

Having completed two Masters Degrees, Sumi has developed a niche in female pain, pelvic pain (endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, etc), post-surgical pain, as well as infertility medicine. Her work has been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals, and she regularly presents her research at national and international medical forums.

Sumi is a member of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, the Fertility Society of Australia, Australian Gynaecological Endoscopy & Surgery, The Australian and New Zealand Vulvovaginal Society and Avant.
