Banking On Life
Young Parents Singapore|July 2017

Choosing the right family cord blood bank provides peace of mind by ensuring your loved ones get reliable life-saving help in the future.

Banking On Life

Cord blood banking may be one of the most crucial ways to protect your child’s health.

Cord blood is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta after your baby’s birth. It has a high concentration of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) stem cells, which can be used during stem cell transplants to replace and regenerate damaged bone marrow, and treat blood related disorders.

You can also increase the range of possible treatments by storing your little one’s cord lining. This is rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and epithelial stem cells (EpSCs) which can be used as a form of regenerative medicine. To date, more than 80 major diseases can be treated with cord blood, including conditions such as leukaemia, lymphoma and thalassemia. With rigorous clinical trials in operation today, the list of treatable conditions is set to grow.
