Insception Lifebank Cord Blood program prides itself on working within with community to spread the word about cord blood banking. We have formed several valuable partnerships with local hospitals to help expecting parents understand the benefits of choosing to bank their children’s cord blood.
Our most recent partnership is with The Scarborough Hospital in Ontario. Together, Insception Lifebank and TSH will work to encourage cord blood banking among minority families.
Statistic shows that only 0.3% of Canada’s registry of stem cell donors if of South Asian descent, while Chinese representation is only 1.4%. 82 % of stem cell donors in Canada are Caucasian, presenting minorities with a low chance of finding a match should they ever need a cord blood stem cell transplant.
Being one of the most ethnically-diverse neighbourhoods in Canada, Scarborough is an ideal starting point. TSH provides an optimal location for Insception Lifebank to educate minority families about cord blood banking, and we hope to increase the number of ethnic donors across the country.
