| Publisher Description: We describe the existing public cord blood bank system, assess current trends and economic relationships of key stakeholders, and provide recommendations to improve the economic sustainability of the system. We propose changes to the federal program to buttress banks' financial stability. We found a system valuable to society and worthy of public investment, especially to improve the genetic diversity and quality of the national inventory. |
