    SINGAPORE’S longest-running cord blood bank, Cordlife Group , has finally appointed a new group chief executive officer (CEO), amid the drawn-out saga over the mishandling of cord-blood units.

    The company on Feb 19 announced the appointment of 34-year-old Yiu Pang Fai as group CEO, replacing outgoing chief Tan Poh Lan.
