Real Stories from People Whose Lives We’ve Impacted
We had a chat with our doctor who advised us that stem cell banking would be a good idea with the recent potential advances in the field. I think it just makes sense and is a small insurance to pay. Everything was straight forward and easy. I really like WhatsApp communication and the fact that we never had to wait or wonder about anything.
Our main reason for banking Oliver’s stem cells was that it is an insurance policy against many illnesses. We pray we never need them but have them in case. With medical advancements, who know what they will be able to do with stem cells in 20 year’s time. The services wem received were so personalised. The team was so helpful in ensuring our kit was ready for collection and all the necessary stuff in it. Netcells is incredibly helpful and responsive.
The main reason we decided to bank Emma’s stem cells is peace of mind. We did not want to be in a situation one day where we would need them and did not have them. We received constant updates and prompt communication from the Netcells team. They guided us through the whole process and made it so easy for us. They had excellent customer service - we were guided every step of the way.
We decided to bank Mthaniya’s stem cells as her older brother has had ALL Leukemia. Next Biosciences was purely amazing! Their product knowledge, patience, and willingness to help was incredible. They made sure to always check up on us to ensure that we had all we needed by the time I delivered, and to ensure that the kit was picked up from hospital after the collection. They kept us informed throughout the process. They were absolutely awesome every step of the way.

Stem cell banking involves collecting and cryopreserving umbilical cord blood and tissue at birth. These stem cells can potentially be used in future medical treatments for your child or compatible family members. We offer both private family banking and community banking options through our Netcells programme.
