Alipay lets organ donors register online
Some 300,000 people wait for transplants of lifesaving organs each year - organs that are in short supply. It is a number that Alipay hopes to lower through its vast network of 450 million users in this country.
In partnership with China Organ Transplant Development Foundation, the mobile payment tool is a new way for people to register as potential donors.
Starting Thursday, Alipay users can search "organ donation registration" on the app's home page to access a registration form. The system was developed and is managed by the foundation, which is affiliated with the National Health and Family Planning Commission.
