First Cord Blood Stem Cell Transplant by StemLife


Malaysia's first cord blood stem cell transplant from a privately banked unit at StemLife was reported on the front page of a local daily newspaper. As a private stem cell bank, we have a few skeptics who question whether our laboratory standards are trustworthy and if the stem cells can be used for transplant. StemLife is very proud to say that not only are we undergoing external accreditation and run by a professional and experienced lab director, but stem cells banked by us are viable and have already been successfully used in a full marrow transplant setting.

Angel Lai is StemLife's first cord blood stem cell patient, her brother Samuel donated his stem cell unit to save her life. Its been almost two years since her transplant and she has since grown tall, strong and is a bundle of lively energy.

I'm proud to share with you that the little girl is doing very well, she's a fighter and doing so well. Her parents are overjoyed and so is the StemLife team! :) We are committed to providing friendly, affordable and quality services to our clients.

congratulations! Saw the newspaper article... Angel is looking good... Amazing there are still sceptics for a process that has been repeatedly demonstrated in scientific journals going back over 20 years.

You're right - the challenge is being able to deliver the results that have been proven in a controlled laboratory environment...and to provide this in a service setting that is still affordable to young parents. Congratulations on making this possible.
