StemLife's First Cord Blood Stem Cell Transplant Recipient

StemLife's first cord blood stem cell recipient, Angel who was cured of her leukemia using her brother's cord blood stem cells is now living happily and actively. Angel's family had no history of cancer in the family and they had no reason to store her cord blood stem cells when she was born but her brother's matching stem cells were used to save her life. Her stem cell transplant was performed in 2004 in a Malaysian Public Hospital.

Truly a neat plan of action that worked out well for this family.
Choosing to 'bank' a few drops of blood from your baby's umbilical cord just in case they are needed in the future is something a brand new mum probably wouldn't automatically think about. Is there a plan to offer this routinely to all expectant mothers?
If so: How cost effective is it to bank millions of samples of millions of babies' blood vs the likelihood of their siblings developing leukaemia in the future? I'm curious!

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your encouragement. We are so happy for the family too.
It's important to remember that other kids haven't been able to find a matching stem cell unit, their quality of life remains to be improved. This is why we believe it is so important to make all mothers aware of the service.
Future estimates place the likelihood of stem cell application at 1:200, and as the applications continue to increase, all of us can probably think of something that we'd like to enhance.
