Stem Cell Banking

WHO IS THIS FOR?

  • Expecting parents who wish to make a meaningful contribution
  • Families who want to donate rather than privately store
  • Individuals who believe in community support and medical advancement

Connect Hope

Turn a moment into a legacy of lifesaving science: cord blood–derived hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are uniquely immunologically adaptable and already used in treating over 80 serious conditions, by choosing public banking, you contribute to a globally shared resource that expands transplant access and accelerates breakthroughs in regenerative medicine.

Through our Connect Hope Public Banking Program, families can donate their baby’s cord blood and selected birth tissues to help patients in need of life-saving stem cell treatments.

WHAT’S PRESERVED

Your generous donation may include:

  • Cord Blood (HSCs) – Rich in hematopoietic stem cells used in the treatment of blood disorders and immune conditions.
  • Cord Tissue (MSCs) – Preserved at the minced stage.
  • Cord Vessel (MSCs) – Preserved at the minced stage.
  • Placental Tissues (MSCs) – Including amnion, chorion, and decidua basalis, preserved at the minced stage.

All samples are processed and cryopreserved under strict quality and safety standards.

WHY DONATE?

By choosing public banking, you:

  • Help patients worldwide who are searching for a matching stem cell donor
  • Support future medical treatments and regenerative therapies
  • Contribute to advancing stem cell research
  • Create hope for families facing life-threatening diseases

Your baby’s birth can become someone else’s second chance at life.

Benefits

1. Give the Gift of Life

By donating your umbilical cord blood and tissue, you provide life-saving hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to patients worldwide who are in need of bone marrow and blood stem cell transplants.

2. Support Cutting-Edge Medical Research

Your donation contributes to regenerative medicine and MSC research, accelerating breakthroughs in treating autoimmune disorders, injuries, and chronic diseases, helping science save more lives.

3. GMP-Grade Collection & Storage

All donated samples are processed, cultured, and stored in GMP-compliant facilities, ensuring maximum viability, safety, and quality for patients and researchers worldwide.

4. Accessible Worldwide for Patients in Need

Unlike private banking, your stem cells become part of a public registry, giving patients across the globe the chance to receive matched stem cells for treatment—turning a simple donation into a potential life-saving resource.

FAQ’s

We’re here to help. Explore answers or reach out to our team directly.

What are stem cells from umbilical cord blood, and how are they used?

Stem cells in umbilical cord blood are special cells that can develop into different types of blood and immune system cells. They are mainly used to treat serious conditions such as:

  • Blood cancers (like leukemia)
  • Blood disorders (like sickle cell disease)
  • Immune system disorders

Doctors use these stem cells in transplants to help rebuild a patient’s healthy blood and immune system.

When you donate cord blood, it is stored in a public bank and listed on international registries. This means:

  • It can be matched with patients anywhere in the world who need a stem cell transplant
  • It increases the chances of finding a match, especially for patients with rare blood match

Your donation could potentially save a life or significantly improve someone’s health.

Yes, it is completely safe.

  • It is done only after birth
  • It does not affect labor, delivery, or your baby’s health
  • There is no pain or risk to you or your baby

Ethical: It uses medical waste (the umbilical cord and placenta) that would normally be thrown away.

Strictly regulated: Public cord blood banks follow national and international medical standards to ensure safety, quality, and proper use. Consent from the mother is always required before donation.

No. Once donated:

  • The cord blood becomes part of a public bank
  • It is available to any patient who is a match

If your family ever needs stem cells, doctors will search public registries for the best available match (which could even be your own donation, but this is not guaranteed).
