Abstract

The modern pharmaceutical supply chain lacks accountability, traceability, and transparency. As a result, counterfeit products can easily enter the market. We propose a blockchain-based solution for the pharmaceutical supply chain that would provide a more secure and robust system that prevents counterfeits from entering. The system would be decentralized and private-permissioned, ensuring data security and privacy amongst the supply chain stakeholders.
