Clea Caulcutt (UK) followed the trail of cord blood being banked in Belgium, France and the rest of Europe. Mothers throughout the EU are encouraged to privately bank the cord blood of their newborn babies.

While investigating into private blood banks, Clea Caulcutt was in need of a Flemish speaking partner. Since the main cord blood bank they followed was based in Belgium and the Netherlands, many documents were in Dutch. Caulcutt explains about the cooperation with Tom Cochez. She is based in Paris, her partner in Belgium. Listen here to Part 2.
