Stem Cell Banking-a new era in Pakistan Medical History
(Syed Adeeb Rizvi, Karachi)
Dear Members,
I want to share with you a new concept which is now available in Pakistan. The
concept is Umbilical cord stem cells banking of newborn. While this concept has
been available in the West and also in Middle East for many years,
unfortunately, nobody has ever offered this facility in our country. Cryo Cell
Pakistan has entered in to an agreement with the largest and oldest stem cells
storage bank in the World – Cryo Cell International to offer this in Pakistan.
This is the most valuable gift one can give to his/her newborn. In some
developed countries stem cell banking has became mandatory for all. Umbilical
cord blood holds the key to a newborn’s future health.
As you know that sufficient quantity of blood remains in the umbilical cord and
placenta at the time of birth. This blood has typically been discarded following
delivery. But once scientists discovered that it has a rich source of stem
cells, umbilical cord blood became a viable substitute to bone marrow in
thousands of successful transplants.
Since 1992, Cryo-Cell International has helped nearly 200,000 clients worldwide
to preserve their newborn's umbilical cord blood for potential use against many
diseases. Along with cord blood banking, Cryo-Cell International is pioneering
the way in research, to find more solutions to preserve stem cells.
Cryo Cell Pakistan is first private stem cell bank and stem cells solutions
provider to bring the revolutionary concept of umbilical cord stem cell banking
to Pakistan. The company has a technological collaboration & exclusive license
agreement with CRYO-CELL International Inc. - the US first and largest stem cell
bank. This technological partnership ensures that stem cells are collected,
processed and preserved at international quality standards & guidelines to meet
future requirements, if any, which may arise in future.
I am attaching the link to our website, which is very informative. The stored
stem cells can be used for treating many chronic diseases like Thalassemia,
Cerebral palsy, Diabetes, Parkinson’s, Leukemia etc. as it has been proved by
the results in medical research, conducted by renowned doctors and research
institutes, so far. The researchers and doctors are still working for finding
more utilization of stem cells for curing the patients (In Pakistan doctors are
conducting research in some faculties) and successfully used stem for treatment
of various patients.
Cryo Cell Pakistan is presently offering collection facility in Karachi however
collection facilities can be arranged in other cities on need basis. The price
of service is USD 2,000 however, 50% discount is being offered to the clients
during an introductory period.
You are requested to kindly forward the message to friends and family so that,
if stem cells are needed to them they would be able to use them in future.
