Win/Win
Life-Saving Gift
- Donating cord blood is medically safe.
Donating poses no health risks to you or your baby. Donating
does not affect your baby or your birth experience because
the cord blood is collected after your baby is born.
- There is no cost for donating. Public cord
blood banks will take care of the procedure and cover the
cost of processing and storing the umbilical cord blood
unit.
- The identity of the cord blood donor is
kept confidential at the cord blood bank.
This cord blood can then be used to
treat more than 45 life-threatening diseases, including
cancers, leukemia, genetic diseases, blood disorders and
immune deficiencies.
