How to Donate Cord Blood

People nowadays have a very high spirit of dedication. For example, when some patients learn that there is no hope for their illness, they will, after a period of careful consideration, discuss with their families and obtain their families' consent and decide to donate some of their organs to give some hope and vitality to the living, allowing them to see the light or live a healthier life. Speaking of donation, today we are talking about the donation of umbilical cord blood. So how to donate? What departments and procedures are involved? Let’s find out.

Institutions that preserve umbilical cord blood need to pass national review. Currently, there are 10 institutions that have passed the review and approval of the Ministry of Health, located in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shandong, Sichuan, Xi'an and other places.

Cross-regional collection is not allowed at present. Donation conditions: Mothers aged 18 to 35 years old, with normal examination indicators during pregnancy, no pregnancy complications, and all indicators on the health form are qualified can donate. Process 1. Contact the local umbilical cord blood storage agency before delivery. 2. After passing the physical examination and evaluation, you can sign the "Informed Consent for Umbilical Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donation". You will also receive a cord blood collection set (related equipment for collecting umbilical cord blood). 3. Take good care of the umbilical cord blood collection set and hand it over to the midwife when you are admitted to the hospital for delivery. Before giving birth, do not forget to remind your doctor to assist in drawing maternal blood and collecting umbilical cord blood, and ask the doctor to complete the umbilical cord blood collection form. 4. After admission to the hospital and delivery, the woman should immediately call the relevant consultant of the umbilical cord blood bank. The umbilical cord blood bank will then arrange a blood collection vehicle with constant temperature equipment to go to the delivery hospital to collect blood within 18 hours to ensure the activity of the umbilical cord blood stem cells. 5. After going through the laboratory testing process, it will take about 60 working days to confirm whether the umbilical cord blood meets the storage standards. 6. If you are a donor, no matter what the test results are, you will receive a donation certificate of honor issued by the Red Cross to commend your love.
