Abstract: Background: As the new born is delivered and the umbilical cord divided, blood can be collected from the segment of cord, still attached to the placenta are known as “umbilical cord blood” stem cell. The blood collected in the umbilical cord is said to be a rich origin of stem. The blood contains stem cells which are also known as hematopoietic cells and these cells can convert into any types of organs in the body. These stem cells collected from the umbilical cord can heal genetic diseases related to blood and immune system like cancer, blood disorders and several life –threatening diseases.

Objectives: Assess the level of knowledge regarding stem cells and cord blood banking among antenatal mothers. Find out the association between the level of knowledge regarding stem cells and cord blood banking among antenatal mothers with their selected demographic variables.
