Cord blood is the blood that remains in your baby's umbilical cord following birth and after the cord is cut. It's the ultimate organic medicine and is a valuable source of stem cells which are the building blocks of organs, tissues, blood and the immune system, and a perfect DNA match for your baby.

These precious stem cells can only be collected immediately after your baby is born via a procedure that is simple and painless for both mother and baby. But you need to enrol with CordBank to save your baby's cord blood before you give birth.

Research shows that a child's own cord blood may play a role in the treatment of traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, Type 1 diabetes and spinal cord injury. Medical science now believes that stem cell therapy has the potential to radically change the treatment of many diseases including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, MS, strokes and liver diseases. In New Zealand, cord blood stored with CordBank has already been used to save the lives of three children suffering from birth-related brain injuries, and stage four cancer (Neuroblastoma). A fourth child is about to receive treatment for a brain injury.
