Hablamos español and we tried to check out your site but it appears to be down (maybe because of HN traffic?). Two quick answers to your question about how we operate efficiently at a granular level:
1) We may have a slight advantage working in healthcare. Our partners already collect patient info (and sometimes even photos) for patient medical records, so requesting they send us that info isn't a big ask.
2) We leverage technology to ensure we can efficiently process and allocate donations. Look at kiva.org - they've leveraged their platform to fund individual microloans for nearly a million people, and that's a much more complex process (because of repayments, interest, currency conversion, etc.) than a one-way donation for a medical treatment.
Happy to talk more offline if there's any way I could be helpful: chase at watsi dot org.
