Detecting Fake Drugs using Blockchain

The existing supply chain for the pharmaceutical industry is obsolete and lacks clear visibility over entire system. Moreover, circulation of counterfeit drugs in market has increased years. According to WHO report, around 10.5% medicinal lower / middle income countries are fake such may pose serious threats public health, sometimes leading death. Keeping these mind, this paper, we propose a blockchain-based model track movement from patient minimize chances drug being counterfeit. reasons using blockchain technology our work include its immutability property easy tracking an entity blockchain. Through proposed model, manufacturer would be able upload details corresponding drug, after which it will sent approval Government. Thereafter, hospitals pharmacies, based upon their requirements, can request approved drugs. In future, if wants some medication, then he or she on network. nearest hospital/pharmacy thereafter, collect medication. To implement have used Hyperledger fabric due presence many auto-implemented features it. Our implementation highlights that successfully detect any This beneficial users getting affected with also beginning right up consuming drug.
