Private maternity hospitals and
cord blood collection in London and the UK

How Does Cord Blood Collection Work in Private Maternity Hospitals?

If you’re looking for a more comfortable and personalized labor experience, private maternity hospitals are a great option. Unlike NHS facilities, they offer a wide range of care packages to fit your budget and delivery preferences. Plus, you can enjoy a private room with an en-suite bathroom that allows you and your partner to rest better before and after the birth of your new baby. Cells4Life provides thousands of new parents with cord blood collection services at all of the top private maternity hospitals in the UK and cord blood collection with Cells4Life is often a must.  As a result, many private consultants are licensed to perform your cord blood collection on behalf of Cells4Life, saving you the additional expense of a phlebotomist.

Cells4Life is the parents’ first choice for cord blood banking at:
