Saving your baby's cord blood could save your baby's life

Cord blood has been saving lives since 1988.  It has been used more than 20,000 times after cancer treatment and for brain injuries including cerebral palsy.

Your child’s unique stem cells are a perfect DNA match for your child and take only minutes to collect.

But you only have one chance to collect your child’s cord blood and that is at birth.

You need to register with CordBank before your baby is born to ensure that these precious stem cells  are available for future medical use.

Growing evidence shows a child’s own cord blood may play a role in the treatment of other conditions including spinal injury, Type 1 diabetes and other degenerative conditions.

Research shows there is a 1 in 200 chance that children born today will need a stem cell transplant in their lifetime.
