More than 20% of them are children. The promising news, however, is that cord blood transplants can now offer a potential cure for adults and children. Blood stem cell transplants offer a possible cure for a number of life-threatening diseases like Leukemia, Lymphoma, Severe Aplastic Anaemia, Thalassemia and numerous other disorders.

That is why we have set up a public cord blood bank - Singapore Cord Blood Bank (SCBB). With SCBB’s target registry of 10,000 cord blood units, Singaporeans will have an up to 80 per cent chance of finding a match amongst its multi-ethnic profile.

If you wish to donate your child’s umbilical cord blood when you give birth or for more information please visit SCBB website at www.scbb.com.sg or call 6394 5011.
