Stem cells therapy is one of the most challenging areas in the medical research. The goal of the stem cells therapy studies is to improve the human enhancement and to reduce some of the medical problems and diseases by using stem cells as a treatment. Stem cells have the ability to build every tissue in the human body. Hence, they have great potential for future therapeutic uses in tissue regeneration and repair. The discovery of stem cells has led to a revolution in modern medicine. Stem cells from umbilical cord blood are known to treat nearly 80 diseases, and have been used in more than 20,000 transplants worldwide. This study was set out to assess effectiveness of structured teaching programme on stem cell therapy and its importance in experimental group by Quasi-experimental, Non-equivalent or Non-randomized control group design non probability, purposive sampling. STP was developed to assess the effectiveness. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge on stem cell and cord blood banking among antenatal mothers at p = 0.001 level.
