Umbilical cord blood banking is the process of collecting and storing umbilical cord blood, in the immediate period after the birth of a baby. There are three forms of UCB banks: public, private, and hybrid. In publicly banks, the UCB is stored for free of charge and is obtainable for any recipient who needs an allogeneic transplant. There are currently approximately 44 public banks everywhere the globe and that they are connected to the globe marrow donor association (Saleh, 2019). Private or family use cord blood banks are the second category of cord blood banks, where parents pay a fee for the collection, processing, and storage of their child's umbilical cord blood. Only autologous or familial use is permitted with UCB. Nowadays, the public has access to hybrid or alternative cord blood banking options. For instance, hybrid cord blood banks give families the choice of holding their unit privately and donating it for use by others.
