What is World Cord Blood Day?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Medical history was made in 1988 when the world\u2019s first cord blood transplant took place. You can read more about this incredible story here<\/u><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since then, there have been over 35,000 cord blood transplants worldwide and in 2017, World Cord Blood Day was introduced to raise awareness about this potentially life-changing resource so that more families could discover cord blood banking for themselves.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s World Cord Blood Day will provide a fresh opportunity for these families \u2013 as well as doctors, nurses and midwives – to discover the power of the umbilical cord as well as its current and future uses.<\/p>\n

Throughout November, parents-to-be and healthcare professionals will be invited to take part in events all around the world that celebrate 31 years of cord blood transplants and the latest discoveries in regenerative medicine.
