Types of cord blood storage banks

There are two types of cord blood storage banks:

Public Bank: For Public Use (Unrelated)

In this method, the donated cord blood is stored for the general consumption of the patients and not only for the consumption of themselves and the donor's family, and therefore no cost is received from the cord blood donor.

Private Bank: For Private Use (Relative)

In this method, the cost of collection, storage, processing and maintenance is paid by the family, so the sample is kept for the family itself.
