Overal Rating
Each cord blood bank is scored across five key parameters, chosen to reflect what matters most to parents considering storage: Accreditation – Are they licensed and globally recognised (HTA, AABB, FACT)? Experience – Years in operation, clinical sample releases, and reputation. Service – Quality of customer support, ease of process, and options offered. Storage – Security, segmenting, location of storage facilities, and processing methods. Value – Overall affordability and what's included for the price.
Accreditation (85): AABB accredited via UK HQ, DHA licensed locally. Experience (90): Established brand globally and regionally. Service (80): Bilingual UAE support, though collection depends on UK lab timelines. Storage (80): UK-only storage may concern some UAE-based parents. Value (85): Competitive packages with international security.
