            Abstract

            Blockchain is an emerging technology these days. It's a chain of blocks organized in a decentralized system witha public ledger having ledgers from initial to final. The pharma supply chain system has a lot of issues considering a large number of intermediaries are involved in it. Blockchain is an effective solution for it since its network is closed and decentralized. It helps to overcome the middlemen problem through its transparencyand traceability. Starting from the manufacturers to the end retailers the products can be traced through the supply chain by ensuring authenticity throughout the processes.If a quality issue of the product is identified, blockchain can facilitate the recalls by determining the location of the faulty product within the supply chain.
