As
a pregnant lady, you and your partner have to make couple of important
decisions, other than thinking about how to raise your little one.
Having thoughts on giving your child a healthy food regime and following
the best parenting practice must be hovering on your mind. But here's
where you need to make some space to address the question - Should you
opt in for cord blood banking? And what's the best option for you?
The
ultimate objective of any parent is to do everything at the best of
their capacity to ensure that their child never witnesses a health
crisis. And as most doctors and medical researchers have already
claimed, that one of the ways of securing a child's future is by opting
in for umbilical cord blood banking. The stem cells from umbilical cord
are potent in curing diseases that have been said to be irreversible. So
today, there are primarily two groups of parents - one who privately
bank their child's stem cells privately and the others who donate the
same to a public bank. And if you are in India and want to select
between private or public cord blood banking, here's what you need to
know.
Public cord blood banking challenges
Given
the Indian scenario, the acute challenge in the field of public banking
of blood from umbilical cord is locating and then storing sample blood
units that would match the population and ethnic diversity of the
country. Hence, when there's a need it might appear to be very tough to
come across a donor that would be the best match for a child or an adult
who needs to do a stem cell transplant to overcome a fatal disease.
This was the situation of Dr. Nalini Ambady, who was an Indian American
professor who couldn't survive as she didn't have access to a correct
stem cell match.
Not every sample in feasible
Matters
related to public cord blood banking get further complicated by the
collected sample quality. There are situations when most samples have to
be cancelled owing to the insufficiency of stem cells. Sometimes
parents are not made aware of the fact that every sample might not be
used. Also, parents should be made aware, that just by storing blood of
umbilical cord doesn't mean parents have locked the "treatment" for
their child, siblings, family members or even themselves. So, when
parents show interest in public banking these aspects should be
addressed to provide a practical perspective.
Private cord blood banking
With
private cord blood banking parents have the scope to store their
child's blood from umbilical cord for their own use or be used by a
family member. In simple words, the family has complete "ownership" of
the cord blood unit and has the power to arrive at making important
decisions on how to use it. However, what seems to be a challenge here
is the cost of private cord blood banking. The initial collection and
the annual storage charges is an expensive amount. But the aspect of
ownership is what makes most parents say yes to private banking of stem
cells.
Considering the expense that one has to incur, often
parents-to be are caught into endless thought loops on what could be the
best choice of stem cell banking. According to the, American Academy of
Paediatrics (AAP), a family must consider private banking of cord blood
as the baby's cord blood stem cell might turn out to be a better match
for any sick member of the family, as compared to a non-family donor.
