A Public Cord Blood Bank in sync with the public
The Héma-Québec Public Cord Blood Bank aims to make stem cells from umbilical cord blood a collective resource that reflects the people of Québec. The more Québec’s ethnic diversity is represented in the Héma-Québec Cord Blood Bank, the greater the chances of finding a compatible donor. For someone suffering from a serious illness, this means the ability to access lifesaving treatment. Nothing less.
