Why are stem cells medically important?

Stem cells are currently used to treat over 40 life-threatening diseases, including cancers and genetic disorders. Stem cells are found in high concentrations in a child's cord blood and can be used at any time later on in the life of your child, if required, to treat diseases.

Your child's stem cells are a perfect match to your child, and in the event that your child ever needs a stem cell transplant in the future, there is no need to find a bone marrow donor. It is often difficult to find a matching bone marrow donor, and often, even if a donor is found, there is a risk that the graft will be rejected. By banking your child's own stem cells now, you are saving your child's precious cord blood stem cells and insuring your child's health.
