Cord Blood Stored with Future Health Biobank Transforms the Life of a Girl in Qatar
We are proud to share the story of a young girl in Qatar whose life was transformed through a stem cell transplant made possible by cord blood stored with us at Future Health Biobank.
When Ananya was diagnosed with beta thalassaemia, her parents chose to store her newborn brother’s cord blood with us, hoping it might one day help her. After processing and preserving the sample in our UK laboratory, we later arranged its secure transport to Apollo Cancer Hospital in Chennai, where Ananya received her transplant.
Our scientific and logistics teams coordinated every step to ensure the safe release and delivery of the stem cells. Hearing that Ananya is now thriving is a powerful reminder of the impact cord blood banking can have.
We have supported families in Qatar for more than a decade, and this case highlights the life‑changing potential of saving a child’s stem cells.
Names have been changed to protect the family’s privacy.
