Difference Between Private And Public Cord Blood Banking ___ By avantika singh Cord blood banking provides numerous health benefits to both children and parents. Cord blood banking is the collection and storage of the baby's umbilical cord blood upon birth. Umbilical cord blood contains stem cells that can be maintained, retained in storage, or donated for a lifetime basis. If not stored, the umbilical cord and placenta are discarded as medical waste. Stem cells have the potential to treat a wide range of ailments. They are collected shortly after the baby is delivered and transferred to a lab, where they are kept for future medical use. Why is cord blood banking important? Cord blood stem cells are distinct; they develop into specific types of cells. In other words, they can develop into a range of cell types that will support various bodily tasks. One crucial point to
2 keep in mind is that stem cells can only be obtained after childbirth. Therefore, you only have one opportunity to save these extremely vital cells. Saving stem cells is incredibly beneficial because it can aid in treating about more than 80 ailments. Some of these are leukaemia, lymphomas, and anaemia. HSCs, or hematopoietic stem cells, are found in cord blood. They have the potential to be a 100% match to the infant, a 25% match to a sibling, and a 50% possibility of partially matching a sibling or parent. This means that if any of your loved ones or family members ever require a stem cell transplant, there is already a match for them. What are the two types of cord blood banking? There are 2 types of cord blood banking; private and public cord blood banking. It means the following. 1. Private cord blood banking In the private cord blood bank, only the individual and their immediate family members can utilize cord blood stem cells. For any transplant, a cord blood banking cost is associated with the storage, transit, and use of any medical facilities. There is a high likelihood that the cord blood stem cells from your baby will match those of you or any close relatives. To find a donor or a match, you wouldn't have to go everywhere. 2. Public cord blood banking Public cord blood bank promotes financing and donation. They provide stem cells to anyone in need. One can look outside of their family for a stem cell transplant match. private v/s public cord blood banking Private cord blood banks exclusively make stem cells available to those who own them and their immediate family members. But in the case of a public cord blood bank, neither you nor your family member owns the stem cells. Stem cells are not available to you or your family member in a public cord blood bank. After you've contributed the stem cells, you no longer own them. The public cord blood bank does not cover the stem cell banking cost of transferring stored cord blood to the appropriate medical facility. Whereas a private cord blood bank operates oppositely.
