Senior Consultant, Fertility Specialist | Reproductive Medicine & IVF

Dr Jothi Kumar’s subspeciality interest is in Reproductive Medicine, and he has been involved in the field of Subfertility and Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) since 1991.

He had previously served as Head of the Division of Reproductive Medicine at the National University Hospital (NUH) and Associate Professor at the National University of Singapore, where he trained numerous postgraduate doctors and led clinical research in fertility care. He was also part of the pioneering NUH team that achieved global IVF milestones, including live births from zona-softened blastocyst transfers. 

Dr Kumar holds a PhD from Monash University, Australia, where he received the prestigious NHMRC Overseas Postgraduate Research Scholarship. His research focuses include natural cycle IVF, PCOS-related subfertility, the use of GnRH antagonists, and the role of metformin in managing hyperinsulinemia. 

Dr Kumar also introduced professional counselling as a standard component of ART care, ensuring patients receive holistic, supportive treatment. He continues to lecture and conduct ART training workshops regionally.

In addition to his expertise in fertility, Dr Kumar has undergone sub-specialty training in advanced gynaecological hysteroscopy and laparoscopy at the Hysteroscopy Training Centre, Spaarne Hospital in the Netherlands, and at Polyclinique de Gynécologie Obstétrique et Médecine de la Reproduction in France—allowing him to offer minimally invasive surgical options for fertility-related conditions.

With his deep academic foundation, surgical skill, and compassionate approach, Dr Kumar provides personalised, evidence-based care to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood.
