As mentioned in our introductory post, we hope to use this platform to share more about how we can work towards achieving our goal of creating a world where healthcare is accessible for all. Today, we'd like to introduce Watsi, a non-profit crowdfunding platform organised by a group located in San Francisco, USA, that is working to provide healthcare for those in need by gathering donations from all around the world.
Watsi's goal is the same as mediPhone's - to "make healthcare a reality for everyone".
They currently have over 10,000 donators from across the world contributing to their goal by providing funds (at a rate that the donators themselves choose) monthly. These donations are then directly delivered to their patients and all transactions are made transparent through their website. Watsi also have medical partners such as the African Mission Healthcare Program and Floating Doctors that they fund in addition to financial backers and individual contributors who fund Watsi's operational costs.
mediPhone may currently be limited to providing healthcare support in Japan. However, we hope to introduce other platforms and services such as Watsi that are working towards the same goal yet in a different niche or through a different platform and thus contribute towards improving healthcare access around the world.
