We prevent scammers by going through trusted organizations. The funds go directly to the organization that is providing treatment (i.e. the hospital or clinic), and never into the hands of the patient.

As well, patients aren't able to solicit Watsi funding. In fact, they don't even know we exist until a doctor at one of our partner organizations has identified them as a candidate and presents them with the opportunity to have their care funded by Watsi. You can think of us as an "Emergency Fund" for on-the-ground healthcare providers.



This is all tremendously innovative and exciting, and you are doing a superb job of articulating it.
