We are proud to welcome Dr. med. Richard Krüger to the CARÁ Health team! Alongside Liina Rajasalu, he now forms our medical board of physicians specializing in gynecology and obstetrics.
Let us tell you a bit more about Richard.
Dr. Richard Krüger, a physician specializing in gynecology and obstetrics, brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for empowering expectant parents to CARÁ. His medical career began at Charité in Berlin, one of Germany’s most renowned maternity clinics and a Perinatal Center Level 1. It was here that he gained invaluable insights into maternity care, which inspired him to write his book, “In der Geburtsklinik” (“In the Maternity Clinic”). The book translates complex medical processes and decision-making into clear, understandable language for parents-to-be, helping them feel informed and confident.
Currently, Richard works at the Bielefeld-Mitte Clinic, where his work encompasses gynecological oncology, urogynecology, and breast health, in addition to overseeing births.
For Richard, gynecology is a calling, combining science with some of the most emotional and meaningful moments in people’s lives. He often says, “Welcome to the most beautiful specialty in medicine: gynecology and obstetrics!”
Richard’s connection to CARÁ stems from his personal and professional experiences. As he explains, “Pregnant women and parents often face an overwhelming flood of information—sometimes conflicting—from family, friends, and professionals. If even I felt overwhelmed during my own journey into parenthood, I can only imagine how others must feel.” This realization motivated him to contribute to CARÁ’s mission of providing clear, well-founded, and consistent guidance.
What particularly impressed Richard about CARÁ was its commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and its ability to present medical knowledge in diverse formats—texts, podcasts, videos, and interactive tools. “Medical information should be as unique and adaptable as the women and families it serves,” he says. By catering to different learning preferences, CARÁ ensures that knowledge is accessible and empowering for everyone.
Joining CARÁ is a natural fit for Richard, who is excited to contribute to its vision of making reliable, compassionate support available to women and families at every stage of their journey. “Empowering parents with knowledge reduces stress and creates a more positive pregnancy experience” he emphasizes. Through CARÁ, he aims to help expectant mothers and their families navigate this life-changing period with confidence and care.
