Cordlife writes response to MoH on blood bank suspension

The MoH plans to suspend Cordlife's blood banking licence for a year.

Cordlife Group Limited recently submitted its written explanation to the Ministry of Health (MoH) regarding the planned one-year suspension of its blood banking service and human tissue banking licence, Cordlife said in a bourse filing.

This is after the MoH granted Cordlife an extension to submit the explanation.

MoH stated in a notice in September that it intends to suspend Cordlife’s cord blood banking service and human tissue banking licence for a period of one year.

This follows an inspection in July, where MoH reportedly found areas of non-compliance with regulations on general healthcare and cord blood banking services.

Should the suspension proceed, Cordlife will be prohibited from carrying out any cord blood banking activities for new cord blood units (CBU) for one year.

Cordlife said it will provide an update on the progress and outcome of its written representations to MOH when such information becomes available.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
