A long-running Panama City clinic giving umbilical cord derived stem cell treatments, with its own processing laboratory on site.
Stem Cell Institute Panama is a treatment clinic on the 63rd floor of the BICSA Tower in Panama City, Panama. It says it has been operating since 2006. Patients are treated directly at the clinic; it is not a research-only body, although it describes itself as a treatment and research centre.
The cells used are described as allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells taken from donated human umbilical cord tissue, meaning they come from a donor rather than from the patient's own body. The clinic markets these under the name Golden Cells. It also offers a preparation it calls MTF therapy, described as exosomes and a mixture of other molecules, which for its autism protocol is given through the nose. Cells are given by drip into a vein, by injection into muscle, into the fluid around the spinal cord, around lymph nodes, or into a joint, depending on the plan. A visit normally runs over several days and includes physical examination and blood tests.
Processing is done on site at an affiliated laboratory called Medistem Panama, described as an 11,000 square foot facility with more than 75 staff, ISO 9001 certification and compliance with good manufacturing practice. The clinic states on its own website that it has carried out more than 80,000 procedures since 2006. That figure is self-published by the clinic and has not been independently verified.
