Eight steps, fully tracked.

This is the complete journey of a case — and of every rupee given to it — from hospital referral through to independent confirmation that treatment happened.

Step 01 — Referral

A case enters through a trusted door

A partner hospital or trained volunteer consultant submits the case, assembling identity documents, medical records, cost estimates, and income documentation. Volunteers themselves are background-checked and credentialed before they can submit anything.

Step 02 — Medical verification

An independent doctor confirms the need

A volunteer medical professional — independent of the referring hospital team — reviews the diagnosis, its severity, and whether the proposed treatment is appropriate. Only genuinely life-threatening cases proceed.

Step 03 — Background verification

An external agency confirms the circumstances

A separate background verification agency independently confirms the family's financial condition and the authenticity of documents — and screens every application against existing cases to catch duplicates or fraud before they reach benefactors.

Step 04 — Financial structuring

The need is broken into milestones

A financial consultant sets the total requirement and divides it into milestones — for example pre-treatment workup, surgery, and recovery — each with its own amount, timeline, and evidence requirement for release.

Step 05 — Publication

The case goes live, with consent

Only with the patient's (or guardian's) explicit approval of the story and any photos does the case appear on the platform — with the real cost, the milestone structure, and progress visible to everyone.

Step 06 — Giving

Benefactors fund the case — up to a cap

Give directly to a specific patient, or to the shared Common Pool. A funding cap stops any single case being over-collected; anything beyond the cap moves to the pool automatically, in real time.

Step 07 — Milestone release

Money moves only against evidence

When a milestone is reached, one finance team member reviews the evidence and a different person approves the release. High-value releases additionally require trustee sign-off. Funds transfer to the patient's dedicated account.

Step 08 — Confirmation

An independent check closes the loop

After every disbursement, the background verification agency confirms treatment progress and that funds were used as intended — before the next milestone opens. That report becomes part of the case record benefactors can see.

NOTHING SITS IDLE

What happens to overflow and unused funds.

Two questions every serious benefactor asks: what if a case gets over-funded, and what if a patient doesn't end up needing everything set aside? CareTrack has a designed answer to both — money never dead-ends.

Your donationGoes to a specific patient, up to their funding cap
Common PoolCatches cap overflow and any unused balance at case closure
Next verified patientAllocated under a capped, trustee-approved, audited policy

If you prefer, you can choose at the time of giving to have any unused portion of your gift refunded instead — the choice is yours, recorded up front, and honoured automatically.

The process only matters if the governance behind it holds. Meet the controls, the oversight tiers, and the compliance framework.
