Dr Kobie de Jager is a specialist obstetrician and gynaecologist with a passion for the management of obstetric patients.She also has a keen interest in skills development, minimally invasive gynaecologic surgery, patients with poor obstetric history and the management of COVID-19 in pregnancy.

 

After earning her bachelor’s degree (MBBCh) from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2010, she completed her internship and community service at Letaba Provincial Hospital from 2011 to 2013, where her interest in obstetrics and gynaecology emerged. This started when she found herself performing many emergency caesareans and other urgent obstetric and gynaecological procedures, which prompted her to expand into interventions aimed at pre-empting such emergencies.
