How does the National Marrow Donor Program support cord blood donation?
The NMDP has developed a central Registry of cord blood units that physicians may search. In addition, several mechanisms exist for physicians to search cord blood banks not currently participating with The NMDP. Physicians can obtain additional information from the NMDP Office of Patient Advocacy at (888) 999-6743. Outside the United States, call (612) 627-8140. More information about marrow, blood stem cell and umbilical cord blood donation is available on the National Marrow Donor Program Web site.
