Some locations in recent years have used special provincial-level funds to help patients with rare diseases with their hefty medical bills. However, charity assistance for such patients is still facing challenges, including unstable funding sources and inconsistent relief standards. A central charity fund for the patients would be a feasible solution to help manage their heavy financial burdens due to the high prices of drugs. The special funds need to have stable funding sources and clear standards for applicants, so that those who are really in need may receive long-term, stable assistance.
