Umbilical cord blood stem cells are the name given to the blood remaining in the umbilical cord and placenta after childbirth. Umbilical cord blood has the potential to be a huge source of primitive hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells that can be used to reconstruct the hematopoietic system and restore immunological function in individuals who require treatment. A descriptive research methodology was adopted in this study and 100 reproductive age group women in Sharda Hospital were selected in the present study. Convenience sampling technique was adopted for the data collection. The information was gathered via a knowledge questionnaire, which was used to assess knowledge regarding umbilical cord blood banking. The result revealed that 30 women had poor knowledge, 63 women had moderate knowledge and 7 had knowledge about umbilical cord blood banking. The importance of umbilical cord blood banking information was given among selected 100 participating women via the help of a pamphlet to raise awareness of uses of umbilical cord bloodbanking.
