Future Health GCC has unveiled its state-of-the-art cord blood banking facility in Dubai Healthcare City, marking a significant advancement in healthcare options for families across the region. This groundbreaking facility offers parents the invaluable opportunity to store their newborn’s umbilical cord blood, a resource that could potentially be used to treat a range of serious health conditions in the future.

Cord blood collection is performed immediately after birth from the umbilical cord and placenta, ensuring a safe and non-invasive process with no risk to either mother or baby. The cord blood is rich in stem cells, which hold the potential to treat various diseases, including certain cancers and blood disorders. Unlike traditional stem cell sources, cord blood is easier to collect and store, providing families with a practical and effective way to safeguard their children’s future health.
