What is stem cell banking?
Stem cell banking offers parents a unique opportunity to safeguard their child’s future health by preserving valuable cord blood and tissue collected at birth. This simple, painless procedure captures powerful stem cells—the body’s master cells capable of developing into various specialised cell types—which can later be used to treat numerous medical conditions including certain cancers, blood disorders, and immune diseases.
By choosing stem cell banking, families gain access to perfectly matched biological material that remains available for decades, potentially providing life-saving treatment options for their child or compatible family members if needed.
The videos below answer all the typical questions around stem cell banking.
