Umbilical
cord blood plays a potent role in treating life-threatening ailments
like sickle cell anaemia, lymphoma, leukaemia and the like. Today, over
25,000 patients round the globe have had cord blood transplants since
their parents had a long-term vision that made them donate the child's
umbilical cord blood to a prominent cord blood bank.
In fact, most
ace doctors and health experts suggest that blood from umbilical cord
must be preserved until there's need of it. Medical science presently
believes that it can be preserved for an indefinite time, so that it can
be of use for several generations. Stem cell transplants having 40
years as the average age, the longer the tissue and blood from the
umbilical cord is stored, the maximum will be its use. And this where
the accreditation process ties in!
Who manages the cord blood banking facilities?
Simply
put, the banks which stores blood from the umbilical cord get regulated
by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is
essential for all blood banks which store cord tissue and blood to
register their name with the FDA and welcome the recurrent inspections
and adhere to the regulations listed by this body. Furthermore, there
are several other banks, comprising of the Core 23 BioBank, that
willingly place themselves for other additional regulation under reputed
accrediting bodies such as FACT and AABB.
Recently, AABB
accreditation is considered to be the standard or key to cord blood
transplant globally, where about 70% of the AABB accredited cord blood
banks are located outside of U.S. As an authorized and authentic
accrediting organization for cellular therapies and transfusion medicine
round the word, the AABB gives a patient ear to the stories from
various members of blood banks, hospitals and other bodies. Listening,
it is said is a vital aspect of AABB's accreditation process and
programme.
As a group of AABB assessor approach an organization,
basic checklists aren't what they depend on! On the other hand, their
key responsibility is to enquire, observe, gather data, build
connections and provide a direct feedback on the organization's
accomplishments in catering to AABB's technical and quality management
par. Other than the formal reviewing process, there's a peer-to-peer
knowledge sharing process that takes place along with other discussions
related to the best practices. Furthermore, it is interesting to note
that the accreditation programme of AABB is accredited by International
Society for Quality in Healthcare, a notable global organization that
oversees and accredits accrediting bodies.
In fact, back in 2016
it a Dubai based AABB accredited cord blood bank successfully delivered a
life-saving treatment of a 7-year-old boy, by providing stem cells that
has been obtained from the umbilical cord blood that was saved 3 years
before the birth of his sibling. This 7-year-old boy, who's the elder
brother, was diagnosed with major beta thalassemia, which is a blood
disorder that might require daily blood transfusions and in a lifetime,
can branch out into other various serious health hazards and ailments.
There
are several reasons why AABB accreditation is considered the best
practice for cord blood transplant. This accreditation programme makes
use of a risk-solving approach that needs a meticulous evaluation by an
AABB assessor to be on-site, examining the facility's policies,
processes and procedure to discover any possible marks of
non-conformity. At the time of this accreditation process, the
institutions gain from customized help rendered by a technical
specialist at the AABB's accreditation department. It is this specialist
who in turn guides and assists the institutions and its team members on
the accreditation process, giving answers to required queries and
authenticating procedure followed and documents maintained. The
verification process is strict, so that cord blood transplant taking
place from the cord blood bank poses no health hazards and other
discomforts.
