Stem Cell Therapy for Autism in Singapore 2023
Stem cell therapy for autism in Singapore is an ongoing topic of research and is considered experimental by the medical community. Parents can find fee-for-service clinics that advertise stem cell therapy for autism, but most of these clinics promote their own approach, which creates a lot of confusion among parents about how to compare their treatment options.

Commercial treatments for stem cell therapy for autism are yet to be available in Singapore. If any registered medical practitioners or institutions want to administer stem cells as a form of medical treatment for autism in Singapore, it would have to be conducted within the context of clinical trials.
During the International Society for Cellular Therapy 2016 annual meeting in Singapore, Dr Michael Chez, told TODAY that 60 per cent of parents of children who participated in the study (children with autism who received an infusion of their cord blood) said they saw moderate to significant improvements, especially in language and social skills.
Dr Cherie Daly, medical affairs consultant for Cordlife, one of the three private cord blood banks in Singapore, said there are plans to bring the autism-stem cell clinical trial to Singapore. Dr Chez said the parties are “still in the process of getting the necessary approvals from (the Health Sciences Authority) to start the trial in Singapore”.
Still, a growing number of centres in the region are offering stem cell therapy to treat autism. According to AestheticsAdvisor.com, there are multiple clinics in Malaysia offering stem cell therapy for autism.
