parents are confused wether to save,store or discard their
babys umbilical cord blood.More patents are choosing to drain
and store stem cell rich blood from umbilical cord and placenta.Many
private sectors are coming forward in this field .CBR today
has about 500,000 blood packets and is expecting to collect
more blood .Cord blood is rich source of stem cells ,which
are building blocks of immune system .They can also be used
to treat blood and immune system disorders like leukemia
,cancer etc.As patents learn benefits of blood storage ,more
are willing to do it .
