I'm speaking for myself now, and not necessarily for other cord blood banking operations in Canada.
Absolutely any cord blood bank that's developed in Canada needs to be established such that no matter what size of hospital or where it is, you can collect that cord blood unit. That translates into putting the resources into developing the tools to train the collectors, and it's not rocket science. It's not a complicated procedure to collect the cord blood unit, but you need to have transportation.
We have special transportation challenges in Canada, but nothing insurmountable. We're good at this.
Then we need creative ways of meeting good manufacturing practices with a distributor network.
All of this is surmountable and would really improve the quality of the Canadian cord blood bank in being able to represent the true flavour of who makes up Canada.
