Executive Summary
Marian’s surgical journey
Proof of Care is some simple lines of open code.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, a striking paradox exists: while Coca-Cola consistently delivers beverages to the most remote locations, life-saving medical care remains frustratingly out of reach for millions of children. Proof of Care resolves this paradox by reimagining medical aid as a self-sustaining, technology-driven ecosystem that delivers the same reliability as a global consumer brand.
Our platform transforms traditional medical aid through three core innovations:
First, we create a sustainable funding cycle. Using blockchain technology and smart contracts, we split each donation: 25-50% directly funds immediate medical interventions, while 50-75% enters an investment pool that generates ongoing returns. This dual-purpose approach ensures both immediate impact and long-term sustainability.
Second, we guarantee verifiable outcomes. Every medical intervention is tokenized and tracked through blockchain technology, with success validated through three-stage video documentation. This creates unprecedented transparency and trust, allowing donors to witness their impact directly and participate in a secondary market for social impact trading.
Third, we align stakeholder interests through our unique token system. Medical providers receive performance-based incentives, donors gain both social and potential financial returns, and children receive life-changing care. This alignment creates a self-reinforcing cycle that drives continuous improvement and expansion.
The results speak for themselves. Take Marian from Tanzania – once a child in medical poverty, now a thriving young woman.
Her transformation demonstrates our vision: a system where medical care is as reliable and accessible as a bottle of Coca-Cola, creating measurable impact for all participants:
- Children receive life-saving surgeries and ongoing healthcare
- Medical providers gain resources and professional development
- Donors achieve verified impact and potential returns
- Communities build sustainable healthcare infrastructure
Proof of Care aims to enable $1 billion in annual medical interventions through our scalable, self-sustaining model. We’re not just funding surgeries – we’re building a new healthcare economy that transforms each dollar into a renewable resource for continuous impact.
Proof of Care is still in development, but we are real and on the ground in Africa, latest news here. We run our current 3 video verification program at morechildsurgeries.com on googlesheets. Morechildsurgeries.com has completed over 1000 child surgeries and is tax deductible through Rotary International in Australia. Financials for morechildsurgeries.com here.

Problem: In Africa why is Coke ubiquitous yet medicine so scarce
Differing values, uses, knowledge of money
While Coca-Cola can deliver bottles to the remotest parts of Africa consistently, life-saving medical care remains frustratingly out of reach for millions of children. The current medical aid system lacks the efficiency, transparency, and repeatability that makes commercial distribution networks so effective.
Over 5 Billion live in some form of medical poverty:
The challenge isn’t the demand, nor the solution (healthcare and money)—the problem is delivering those solutions at scale, effectively and sustainably just as Coke does.
The Coca-Cola distribution model versus medical aid distribution reveals deep-rooted issues in logistics, incentive structures, and perceived value.
Supply Chain Motivation
- Coca-Cola has a clear financial incentive for ubiquitous distribution
- Medical aid lacks a comparable profit motive, so the economic drive to reach remote areas is minimal
Psychological Value Proposition
- Coca-Cola sells an immediate, tangible pleasure
- Medical aid represents an abstract, future-oriented benefit
- People are more likely to repeatedly purchase something that provides instant gratification. Saving a child’s life, while noble, is not presented in such a way as to trigger the same dopamine-driven repeat behaviour as consuming a beverage
Cultural and Economic Friction
- The transactional psychology of consumption is deeply ingrained
- Donation is often seen as a one-time moral event, not a recurring engagement
- There’s a disconnect between actual values of money for donor, medico and child.

Global Surgery 2030: Building Solutions Through Innovation
The groundbreaking 2015 Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, led by Dr. John G. Meara of Harvard Medical School and Dr. Andy Leather of King’s College London, revealed a critical global healthcare crisis: 5 billion people lack access to safe, affordable surgical care. Their comprehensive research, involving experts from over 110 countries, projected a staggering $12.3 trillion economic impact in low- and middle-income countries by 2030 due to untreated surgical conditions.
The Scale: The Commission identified that 143 million additional surgical procedures are needed annually to prevent unnecessary deaths and disabilities. Most critically, 33 million individuals face catastrophic health expenditures from surgical costs alone, often pushing entire families into poverty. This financial barrier creates a devastating cycle where treatable conditions become life-altering disabilities.
Key Scientific Recommendations The commission’s research emphasizes four crucial interventions:
- Integration of surgical care into national health systems
- Development of sustainable surgical workforce capacity
- Investment in healthcare infrastructure
- Creation of financial protection mechanisms
Innovative Solutions Emerging This is where new technologies and funding models like Proof of Care are beginning to address these challenges. By leveraging blockchain technology and smart contracts, these innovations directly support the Commission’s recommendations through:
- Transparent, efficient funding flows for surgical procedures
- Verified surgical outcomes through multi-point documentation
- Protection against catastrophic health expenditures
- Sustainable funding pools for ongoing care
Real-World Implementation The Commission’s findings have guided practical solutions in Tanzania and beyond. Working with established medical centers like Selian Ngaramtoni, new funding models are demonstrating how technology can bridge the gap between global resources and local surgical needs. These implementations follow WHO surgical safety protocols while building sustainable local capacity.
Looking Forward as Dr. Meara and Dr. Leather’s research shows, addressing the global surgery crisis requires innovative approaches to both funding and delivery. The emergence of blockchain-based healthcare funding platforms represents one way forward, combining the Commission’s emphasis on financial protection with transparent, verifiable surgical outcomes.
The science is clear: millions of lives can be transformed through access to essential surgery. Through continued innovation in healthcare funding and delivery, guided by rigorous research like the Lancet Commission’s work, we can begin to close this critical global healthcare gap.

Proof of Care Solution - Core Components
The Value Chain ($VALUE)
“If Coca-Cola can track every bottle, we can track every treatment”
Every Coca-Cola bottle has a value that’s instantly recognized worldwide. Similarly, our digital tokens represent real medical treatments with verifiable worth. Like tracking your Coke from factory to fridge, our blockchain technology follows every step of medical care, creating a transparent journey from donor to patient.
Quality Assurance (REAL)
“Just as you know a Coke tastes the same everywhere”
When you open a Coca-Cola anywhere in Africa, you know exactly what you’re getting. We bring that same consistency to healthcare. Every medical facility follows standardized protocols, with verified practitioners and real-time outcome tracking. Performance rewards ensure quality stays high, just like Coke’s quality control.
Distribution Network (REACH)
“Following the Coca-Cola route map to medicine delivery”
Coca-Cola’s secret isn’t just its formula – it’s getting cold drinks to the hottest villages. We’re using those same supply chain lessons for medicine: Collaboration with existing medical supply chains. Cost control through competition and scale. Tiered hospital solutions (Levels 1, 2, and 3)
Community Engagement (TRUST)
“Building brand loyalty in healthcare”
Just as Coca-Cola builds trust through local vendors and community presence, we’re creating a healthcare network that people trust. Our health ambassadors program, education initiatives, and digital platform connect everyone involved. Each success story builds confidence, just like each satisfying Coke builds brand loyalty.
Financial Model (SUSTAINABLE)
“Making helping as reliable as stocking Coca-Cola”
Coca-Cola’s success comes from its sustainable business model. Our financial approach is similarly smart: we split funds between immediate care (25-50%) and future growth (50-75%). Like a Coke vendor restocking their shop, our investment pool ensures continuous care through multiple revenue streams: token trading, investment returns, and direct donations.
How It Works
“As simple as buying a Coke, as impactful as saving a life”
- Funding: Donors buy tokens representing specific medical treatments, verified by smart contracts.
- Delivery: Standardised care protocols ensure quality across all facilities.
- Verification: Three-stage video documentation proves impact.
Benefits for Everyone
- Children: Get life-changing care and ongoing support
- Medical Providers: Receive resources and growth opportunities

This is where we are up to now: Stage Two
Stage Two Technically. Medical Aid as Reliable as a Coca-Cola Delivery
The Technical Foundation of Proof of Care
Proof of Care’s blockchain architecture transforms humanitarian healthcare funding through a sophisticated yet streamlined verification and delivery system. This isn’t just technology for technology’s sake – it’s a carefully designed process that ensures every dollar maximizes its impact through verified surgical outcomes.
Core Technical Infrastructure The system operates through a 29-step blockchain-validated journey, from initial outreach to final verification. Here’s how it works:
Initial Engagement and Verification (Steps 1-7)
- Outreach workers identify children needing surgery and upload verification videos
- AI-powered approval systems validate initial submissions
- Smart contracts (SC) automate the process, minting tokens only upon verified need
- Donor/investor funds are secured in escrow until surgical completion
Surgical Delivery Process (Steps 8-20)
- Funds flow through secure crypto payments for diagnosis and surgical care
- Hospital and surgeon verification checkpoints ensure accountability
- Smart contracts manage the release of funds for essential components:
- Surgical procedures

Stage Three: Proof of Care Adventure Investing
Thrilling, Helping Others, Making Money
Adventure Investing through Proof of Care creates a unique bridge between direct impact and digital assets. When you purchase Proof of Care tokens, you’re triggering two distinct events: funding a life-changing surgery for a child in Sub-Saharan Africa and receiving a tradeable digital token that can be held or exchanged on major cryptocurrency markets.
Here’s how it works: Your initial investment directly funds a verified child’s surgery. Once the surgery is completed and verified, you receive Proof of Care tokens that can be traded on major exchanges. The token’s value is determined by market forces, similar to other cryptocurrency assets, creating potential for both social impact and trading opportunities.
What makes someone an Adventure Investor? Adventure Investors are pioneers who understand the power of combining immediate social impact with blockchain innovation. They’re drawn to our model because it offers:
- Guaranteed impact: Every token purchase funds a specific child’s surgery
- Complete transparency: Video verification ensures accountability
- Market opportunity: Tokens can be traded on major exchanges
- Innovation: Participating in a new model of humanitarian funding
Our token system maintains integrity through limited issuance – tokens are only minted when surgeries are funded and verified, creating natural scarcity. While the separate investment pool helps sustain the Proof of Care ecosystem, token holders are investing in the tokens themselves, whose value will be determined by market forces.
This isn’t traditional investing or pure philanthropy – it’s an adventure in combining verified humanitarian impact with the dynamics of cryptocurrency markets. Each token represents both a child’s completed surgery and your participation in a revolutionary approach to funding healthcare.

Environmental Concerns
Certain cryptocurrencies, particularly those using proof-of-work consensus mechanisms like Bitcoin, have been criticized for their environmental impact due to high energy consumption. This has led to increased scrutiny and potential regulatory actions aimed at mitigating environmental harm, which could affect the future viability of such cryptocurrencies.
Liquidity Risks
The liquidity of some cryptocurrencies can be limited, especially for lesser-known tokens. This can make it challenging to buy or sell assets without significantly impacting their price, potentially leading to losses or difficulties in exiting positions.
Conclusion: Proof of Care: A New Way to Create Impact
Proof of Care represents a paradigm shift in healthcare funding for Sub-Saharan Africa, moving beyond traditional donation models to create a self-sustaining ecosystem for children’s surgical care. By combining blockchain technology, smart contracts, and innovative financial mechanisms, we’re creating a system that not only funds immediate surgical needs but builds long-term capacity through compounding returns.
The triple verification system and outcome-based funding ensure transparency and accountability at every step, while our token economy creates alignment between all stakeholders. As the investment pool grows, so does the ability to fund more surgeries, creating a virtuous cycle of increasing impact.
More than just a funding mechanism, Proof of Care is a blueprint for transforming how you approach humanitarian healthcare challenges. With the potential to fund $1 billion in annual surgeries, Proof of care is not just changing individual lives – it’s creating a scalable solution that could revolutionise healthcare delivery across the continent.
