As a parent, you naturally want to protect your child but you can’t always guard against the future. However, if you choose cord blood stem cell storage, you might be buying into the best insurance policy for your child’s future health.
WHAT ARE STEM CELLS?
Inside your baby’s umbilical cord there are millions of tiny cells, called stem cells. There are two types, Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These, amazingly, have the ability to treat over 85 diseases and health conditions - some of which might not even appear in your child for many years to come. They can be collected when your baby is born and stored for use over the years ahead.
