Singapore Cord Blood Bank

- donating your baby’s umbilical cord blood is encouraged because of its potential to save lives;
- i.e. the stem cells found in umbilical cord blood can help to cure patients of diseases such as leukaemia, thalassemia, sickle cell anaemia, other blood cancers and disorders, as well as immune disorders

- expectant mothers and their spouses who are interested to donate their baby’s cord blood after birth should speak with their ObGyn (Delivering Physician) from 28 – 32 weeks of gestation (you must not have blood transfusion within 12 mth of donation)
- Alternatively, you may wish to contact Singapore Cord Blood Bank SCBB directly at 6394-5012 or info@scbb.com.sg after 32 weeks of gestation to complete the Donation Process

- you would be required to make an appt directly with the Nurse Coordinators who will meet with you (and your spouse) to explain all the donation details including completion of the Informed Consent, the Maternal Risk Questionnaire and the Family Medical History Questionnaire
- preferably after 32 weeks of gestation, when you are stable in your pregnancy and awaiting labour
- This process MUST be completed before you go into labour
