Previously Korean National Soccer Team Manager Guus Hiddink leads vitalization of cord blood storage and donation. MEDIPOST, number 1 corporation in the cord blood storage industry, designated Guus Hiddink as ‘Cord Blood Honorary Ambassador’ at Seoul Shinra Hotel on 23 July.

Hiddink came to be the honorary ambassador to vitalize cord blood storage and donation, after receiving knee arthritis treatment and being cured in Korea in January this year with CARTISTEM^® which is made from cord blood.

Hiddink was in a serious state with almost no cartilage left in the right knee, rendering normal everyday life impossible, but was known to have greatly improved after around 6 months, being able to enjoy even sports such as golf. Hiddink will partake in promotion of cord blood with MEDIPOST for 1 year, and various related social contribution activities.
