The Sheba Cord Blood Bank is the leading, largest and oldest in its field in Israel. The bank is managed by Prof. Arnon Nagler, a world-renowned physician and scientist and president of the Sheba Hemato-Oncology Center. Sheba operates two cord blood banks: the public bank and the private bank. The public bank, established in 2001, has been officially accredited and recognized over the years by local and international regulatory bodies dealing with the subject, including the Israeli Ministry of Health and the most important American regulatory body
Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT)/ NetCord - the international cord blood banking arm of EuroCord
- The accreditation, which is renewed every two years by the Ministry of Health and every four years by NetCord-FACT, defines the standard rules for working in blood banks, for testing the stored units and for processing them. The bank currently stores thousands of cord blood units and the bank is a member of the World Organization for Bone Marrow Transplantation.
Over the years, the bank has provided cord blood units for stem cell transplants in children and adults with malignant and genetic diseases in Israel, Europe, the United States, and around the world. The private bank operates under a license from the Ministry of Health and undergoes certification every two years by the Ministry of Health. The certification defines the standard rules for working in the blood bank, for testing the stored units, and for treating them.
The bank that is named after me and provides doses at the request of parents for clinical studies including neurological indications (e.g. autism) performed at Sheba.
Our goal is to provide the highest quality and professional service in its various forms, all under one roof at Sheba Medical Center
