The healthcare industry has faced challenges in accurately tracking the distribution of legitimate medications while ensuring that the proliferation of counterfeit drugs is minimized, thus safeguarding patient safety. Counterfeit drugs not only harm individuals' health but also lead to significant economic losses, with US-based pharmaceutical companies, for example, suffering annual financial setbacks of nearly $200 billion. Alarmingly, the World Health Organization has reported that in many developing nations, one in every ten medications consumed by patients is counterfeit and of substandard quality. To address this issue, we propose a solution that utilizes blockchain technology to track the production and distribution of pharmaceuticals. This paper seeks to enhance transaction security and reduce the risks to both medicine quality and data integrity through the adoption of blockchain technology.
