There is only one chance to collect your baby’s cord blood and that’s at birth. To take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity you need to register with CordBank before your baby is born.
Every day we receive heartbreaking emails from families who’s children are suffering from conditions that could be treated but who don’t have cord blood stored. These parents tell us that they either weren’t aware of the chance to store cord blood or didn’t think they’d ever need it. The birth of your child is a chance to ensure that this doesn’t happen to your family.
Here is how you can have your baby’s precious cord blood saved for the future with us:
Step 1:
Choose your preferred payment option and complete the registration process.
Step 2:
You’ll receive your CordBank cord blood collection kit within 3 days of registering with us. It includes all of the sterile medical equipment your midwife or doctor needs to collect your baby’s cord blood at their birth.
Step 3:
If your midwife or doctor has not already completed their cord blood collection training, we’ll arrange for this to happen and answer any questions.
Step 4:
Your baby’s umbilical cord blood is collected at birth by your LMC.
Step 5:
When the cord blood is collected, call the dedicated courier service (available 24/7) to deliver your baby’s cord blood to CordBank in Auckland, New Zealand for it to be processed and stored at CordBank.
Step 6:
We’ll call you to let you know the cord blood has arrived safely. Let us know your baby’s name so we can issue a storage certificate for you.
