Public vs. Private Cord Blood Banking: Which is Better?
There are two main types of cord blood banks: public and private. Public cord blood banks store donated cord blood for use by anyone who needs it, while private banks store cord blood for personal or family use. Each option has its pros and cons. Public banking is often free but the stored cord blood is not reserved for the donor's family. Private banking, on the other hand, ensures that the cord blood is available for the donor's family but involves a fee.
