The blood left in the umbilical cord after a child’s birth is currently known to be one of the best sources of stem cells like those found in bone marrow. It’s been utilised as a part of transplants to treat more than 85 medical conditions including leukemia, lymphoma, sickle-cell disease, and some metabolic disorders. Cord blood banking is a unique option for expecting parents that involves collecting the cord blood sample at birth and storing it with a private stem cell bank long-term.
Cord blood collection is simple, safe and risk-free. The cord blood is collected after birth, once the umbilical cord has been clamped and cut so it is a non-invasive procedure and not painful at all.
