Cord Blood Stem Cells

Umbilical cord blood stem cells are currently being used to treat more than 80 diseases and disorders, such as leukaemias and aneamias.

What are cord blood stem cells?

Stem cells found in cord blood are haemopoietic (blood forming). Haemopoietic stem cells in cord blood are able to differentiate into every blood cell type e.g. red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

This blood is very rich in stem cells and can be easily collected, processed and stored for later use in the treatment of many diseases and disorders.

The process of collecting cord blood does not interfere with the birth process and presents no harm to the baby or mother.
