Vita 34 supports cord blood donation

Leukemia is one of the diseases where donated stem cells are preferred. So a matching stem cell donor is needed. In many cases he can already be found within the family - but not always. In those cases, the search for a donor begins - in Germany and partly even internationally.

An umbilical cord blood donation can help these patients. Because cord blood stem cells are rapidly available and well compliant. In Germany, there are multiple stem cell registries, which support the cord blood donation. One of the main registries is the North German Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Donor Registry (NKR) in Hanover. A lot of volunteers are working here to help patients who need a stem cell donation. As the German Cord Blood Bank the NKR also allows the cord blood donation.

Vita 34 – Partner of German Cord Blood Bank
Vita 34 supports the German Cord Blood Bank (NKR) in fight against leukemia. On behalf of the German Cord Blood Bank, we process the donated cord blood by the latest technique and under the specific rules for the donation of stem cells from cord blood and store the cord blood preparations. Together with the German Cord Blood Bank, we gain hospitals in Germany for the idea of a donation and conduct on-site training. That is how we ensure that more parents than ever before have the opportunity to donate their child's cord blood.

Information on donation
Expectant parents have two options to proceed with their child's cord blood to help other people. For the cost-free donation, the German Cord Blood Bank has an information hotline under 0511/8988880. For parents, who want to store the umbilical cord blood for their own child, and want to keep open the option of a donation in case of need, Vita 34 offers the option VITAplusSpende (VITAplusDonation).
