Dr Railene Naidoo works as a specialist obstetrician and gynaecologist. She developed a deep passion for helping people from a young age. Her mother worked as a matron, and this inspired her to follow a medical path.
She studied medicine at Stellenbosch University Medical School. During this time, she faced challenges but stayed focused on her goal. As a result, she completed her studies and moved forward with confidence.
After that, she completed her internship at Victoria Hospital. She then did her community service at Greenpoint Community Clinic and Vanguard Trauma Unit. During this period, she discovered her strong interest in obstetrics and gynaecology.
She trained at Mowbray Maternity Hospital under Professor Sue Fawcus. This experience shaped her career direction. It also strengthened her skills and knowledge in women’s health.
Dr Naidoo specialised in obstetrics and gynaecology through the University of KwaZulu-Natal. At the same time, she raised three children. Despite the demands, she stayed committed and completed her training.
She worked in several large government hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal. This gave her broad clinical experience. In addition, she earned lecturing status at the University of KZN. She helped train students and future doctors.
Later, she moved to Johannesburg. She joined Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital. There, she improved her skills further and built strong clinical confidence.
