Newborn stem cell banking launched

Abu Dhabi Biobank has launched private cord blood banking services, offering expectant families with an affordable, accessible and local way to preserve their newborns’ stem cells.

- 

With over 60,000 transplants performed globally using stem cells from umbilical cord blood, the demand for life-saving treatment using cord blood banking is growing.

However, many families are having to go without the benefits of private cord blood banking due to high cost and limited local storage options.

Abu Dhabi Biobank is changing this, offering families cord blood banking at half the cost than current market rates and teaming up with leading and fully licensed healthcare facilities in Abu Dhabi, including M49's Danat Al Emarat Women’s and Children Hospital, and other facilities like Corniche Hospital and Kanad Hospital.
