What is cord blood?
Cord blood is the blood that remains in a baby’s umbilical cord and placenta immediately after the baby is born and the umbilical cord has been clamped and cut.
Cord blood is rich in blood stem cells, in particular haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and other important cells that have the ability to create and heal our organs, blood, tissue and the immune system. These cells from the umbilical cord are in pristine condition making them some of the most flexible and potent in the body.
