Cord Blood & Tissue Storage Options
Gold Coast Private Hospital and Cell Care have partnered to ensure that you have access to information about cord blood & tissue banking to make an informed decision prior to the birth of your baby.
Why store your babies Cord Blood and Tissue?
Your baby’s cord blood and tissue are rich in stem cells which can be used to treat life threatening conditions such as blood cancers, metabolic disorders, and disorders of the immune system.
These stem cells are a perfect match for your child and potentially a match for siblings.
There is only one opportunity to collect and store your baby’s cord blood and tissue stem cells – at birth.
The collection process is quick and painless for both mother and baby and is performed by a trained Cell Care collector or your Obstetrician.
In recognition of Gold Coast Private Hospital’s partnership with Cell Care , expectant parents are eligible to receive up to $500 off the price of cord blood and tissue storage. Request your free digital information kit HERE.
