Family cord blood services

Blood cord banking is the process of preserving blood from a new born baby’s umbilical cord and placenta. Many parents find this search daunting, simply due to the sheer number of facilities available.
The umbilical cord serves as a lifeline between mother and child, allowing nutrients to pass to the child in the womb. Instead of having to worry about these concerns, imagine serving as your own donor, ensuring a perfect match every time and greatly diminishing the worry about rejection. The concept of blood cord banking starts immediately as soon as a mother gives birth, the blood in the umbilical cord and placenta is immediately preserved through freezing and kept in a depository until such time in the future as when that same baby, all grown up, will be needing, if ever, a transplant of the bone marrow or for treatment of leukemia or Fanconi’s Anemia.
