Unlocking hope: How cord blood donation saves lives in the UAE

Babies bring new life into this world, but did you know that their birth can also offer hope to others? The science of cord blood banking harnesses the power of umbilical cord blood, rich in stem cells that can treat life-threatening diseases.

On Tuesday, May 14, the region’s largest hybrid cord blood bank was launched in Abu Dhabi. The Abu Dhabi Biobank, announced during the Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week, will have a capacity to store 100,000 cord blood samples, helping save lives in the UAE and across the world.
