MedAxis — Digital ID-anchored prescription trust infrastructure. 2026 Africa Digital ID Hackathon Semi-Finals 🏆 (ongoing)
# MedAxis Africa
**National Prescription Trust Infrastructure — powered by MOSIP Digital ID**
MedAxis eliminates prescription fraud in Morocco and across Africa by anchoring every prescription to a cryptographically verified Digital ID. Doctors, pharmacists, patients, and regulators interact through a unified national ledger — making forgery, duplicate dispensing, and drug abuse structurally impossible.

## The Problem
Morocco's paper-based prescription system enables:
- Prescription forgery and reuse across multiple pharmacies
- No real-time doctor license verification at the point of dispensing
- Duplicate dispensing ("pharmacy hopping") for controlled substances
- No national audit trail for regulators
- Leakage of controlled substances into illicit markets
## The Solution
MedAxis creates a tamper-proof national prescription ledger. It does **not** replace hospital EMR systems or store clinical records. It stores only prescription metadata, cryptographically linked to verified Digital IDs.
**Why fraud is structurally impossible:**
1. Only licensed, verified doctors can issue prescriptions
2. Every prescription is cryptographically signed and linked to a patient CNIE hash
3. Pharmacists verify doctor license, prescription validity, and patient identity before dispensing
4. Every dispensing event is logged and immutable
