Some thinking about Medical Crowdfunding in China I appreciate medical crowdfunding so much. About four years ago, my newborn nephew got a rare blood disease which costs a lot of money. My cousin sister was heartbroken then. She and her husband have a decent income. But their saving hardly comparable with the medical fee. It was crowdfunding platform Shuidichou help them got donation from warm-hearted strangers. Thanks for the help from friends and donators, my nephew is a robust little man now. So many families like my sister’s got medical donation through crowdfunding platform in recent years. This kind of platforms offer easy access for illnesses who need financial help to connect with good willing people. And they are trusted for their transparency and effectiveness. Medical Crowdfunding platforms also have some drawbacks. First, it’s inhumane for patients and patients’ family members to get money by show how painful they are. As a donator, I certainly want my donation to go where it’s needed most. Which means, donators will fund the people with the saddest story. Given the limited donor pool, patients who are seeking donations are trapped in competition; the best storyteller has the biggest chance of survival. What’s more, they neglected the people who need the most help. For example, patients who even do not have a smartphone have no idea about crowdfunding platforms. In China, a lot of rural residents cannot type, and most of them are aging people. Crowdfund platforms users cannot afford medical bills, but ageing rural people might not have the opportunity to go to the hospital until they die. In conclusion, the medical Crowdfunding platform did an outstanding job to help people. At the same time, we also hope that they can make improvements to their existing problems.
