Cord blood banking

Public Banking

By donating to a public bank, families contribute to a diverse pool of stem cells that can benefit patients in need, enhancing healthcare options and outcomes for everyone. This simple, safe, and non-invasive process not only supports the advancement of medical science but also fosters hope for future treatments, innovations, and generations.

  • Public cord blood banking allows families to donate their baby's cord blood after delivery, creating a valuable resource rich in stem cells. These stem cells can help treat over 80 conditions, including certain cancers and genetic diseases. Beyond immediate medical applications, donated cord blood supports vital research, helping to advance new treatments and innovative therapies.

    The more families donate, the greater the chances of finding compatible donors for patients in need, including their own loved ones.

    Cord blood donation is free of cost. If you are an expectant parent, we encourage you to talk to one of our medical advisors today to learn more.
