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

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
