Our first successful story

A sister’s cord blood. A brother’s recovery.

When Laith’s younger sister was born in 2010, her cord blood was collected, processed and stored by Future Health Biobank. Years later, it was the match he needed.

Patient

Laith Abu Areesh.

Illness

Fanconi’s anaemia, an autosomal recessive disorder that can lead to bone marrow failure, which is life-threatening.

Procedure

The teenager’s younger sister was born in 2010. Her cord blood was collected at birth, processed and cryopreserved by Future Health Biobank. She was an HLA match to her brother. The cryopreserved cord blood was thawed and infused without any additional processing.

Outcome

The procedure was a success and Laith had no serious complications. He was released from hospital and today continues to lead a normal and healthy life.

Accreditations and licences

Licensed and accredited to the highest level.

Future Health Biobank is the world’s most accredited stem cell bank, generally regarded by its peers as the most innovative, highly considered centre of excellence for quality and service within the stem cell banking industry. The three laboratories are licensed and accredited to the highest level and operate to GMP standards.
