Are there any State Health Departments involved in the oversight and/or administration of a Public Cord Blood Bank? Oklahoma currently has legislation being considered to "pass" money through the health department to the Oklahoma Blood Institute to set up a public cord blood bank.
I would like to talk with any Health Department staff that have been involved in the establishment and/or administration of a public cord blood bank.
Thanks.
