With the introduction of private cord blood banking services, Abu Dhabi Biobank is providing expectant parents with a local, accessible, and reasonably priced option to preserve the stem cells of their unborn children.
The need for life-saving treatments utilising cord blood banking is increasing due to the more than 60,000 transplants carried out worldwide using stem cells from umbilical cord blood. However, because private cord blood banking is expensive and has few local storage options, many families are forced to forgo its advantages.
By partnering with top-tier, fully licensed healthcare facilities in Abu Dhabi, such as M42’s Danat Al Emarat Women’s and Children Hospital and other facilities like Corniche Hospital and Kanad Hospital, Abu Dhabi Biobank is transforming this by providing cord blood banking to families at half the current market rates.
Additionally, Abu Dhabi Biobank will store cord blood samples locally, safely, and securely for up to 30 years at its cord blood banking facility in Masdar City, which is outfitted with large-capacity biobanking infrastructure and state-of-the-art automated technology, as opposed to shipping and storing them overseas. This capacity for long-term storage ensures that stem cells are accessible from any location worldwide and continue to be viable for therapeutic uses.
