mich: can.. any hospital also can.
but u need to contact them some time b4 delivery. Cos got to make appointment with them to do the screening etc... they also need ur particulars,e tc... so they can expect when u will deliver, etc.
just sharing what i heard: I had a friend who worked in one of these private blood banks.. she say TMC good in a way, they will allow the bank nurses to go in and collect themselves (they are trained, more skilled in the collection, so lesser risk of contamination). For MAH, not allowed in, so drs will do the collection (but to drs, contaminated or not, they dont really bother mah.. they wanna make sure u and baby is safe, cord blood not their priority)... they will try their best to not contaminate of course.
Then if contaminated, u still have to pay the processing fee, but cannot store the cord blood..
Just sharing what i heard lah.. u may wanna check with ur dr or the hospital to see if the cord blood nurses are allowed to go collect or not.
