CordLife is Southeast Asia's First AABB Accredited Cord Blood Bank
CyGenics Limited announced that its umbilical cord blood banking subsidiary CordLife, had been granted the prestigious AABB accreditation, the organization formerly known as the American Association of Blood Banks. It is the first such bank in Southeast Asia to achieve this status.
This accreditation had been granted following an intensive on-site assessment by specially trained AABB assessors. During this audit, it was determined that CordLife's level of medical, technical and administrative performance met or exceeded the standards set by the AABB. Today, only 35 private and public cord blood banks around the world have achieved this standard. CordLife is the 8th private bank outside the United States and the first in the Southeast Asian region to be accredited. AABB is an international non-profit body dedicated to developing the highest standards in blood and cord blood banking, transfusion medicine and cellular therapy. Its very strict and comprehensive standards are today considered the world standard in these fields. Its accreditation is sought after by public and commercial organizations as it demonstrates a commitment to advanced learning, continuous improvement and innovation to sustain the highest possible level of quality and safety in patient and donor care.
