What is cord blood
Cord blood is the blood that remains in a baby’s umbilical cord and placenta after birth.
Lifesaving potential
Cord blood contains stem cells that can regenerate the blood and immune system.
Over 80 diseases
These cells have the potential to treat more than 80 disorders, such as leukaemia and lymphoma.
Family protection
Cord blood is a 100% match for your baby and has a higher chance of a match with her siblings.
Future potential
Cord blood is used in clinical trials for conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy and brain injuries.
Treat over 80 diseases
with cord blood stem cells
Since 1988, doctors have used cord blood to treat over 60,000 patients suffering from diseases such as leukaemia, lymphoma and blood disorders. Cord blood stem cell transplants are currently being used as standard mainstream treatment for the diseases listed here.
Diseases that can potentially be treated with cord blood stem cells
- Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
- Neuroblastoma
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- Retinoblastoma
- Severe combined immune deficiency
- Multiple myeloma
- Aplastic anaemia
- Fanconi’s anaemia
- Congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia
- Sickle cell anaemia
- Thalassaemia major
- Osteopetrosis
Ongoing clinical trials using stem cells that can be found in cord blood
- Autism
- Cerebral palsy
- Global developmental
- Parkinson’s disease
- Spinal cord injury
- Stroke
- Myocardial infarction
- Alopecia areata
- Diabetes (Type 1 & 2)
- Lupus
- Multiple sclerosis
- HIV
- Breast cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Cartilage injury
- Osteoarthritis
Over 3,000 clinical trials registered
Ongoing worldwide research is pushing science to discover the greater potential of stem cells that can also be found in cord blood. By storing your baby's umbilical cord stem cells, you are availing your family to more medical options in the future.

More reasons to consider cord blood banking
Likelihood of
needing stem cells
We become more vulnerable to diseases as we age. Research shows that 1 in 3 people will benefit from regenerative medicine therapy.1
Higher chance
of finding a match
You’re more likely to find a cord blood match within the family than bone marrow, which means your family member can get treatment sooner.2
Lower risk
of complications
Studies have shown that transplant complications are lower when patients get stem cells from a family member.
Once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity
You only have one chance to collect your baby’s precious cord blood: at birth. Once missed, this opportunity is lost forever.
