CHALLENGES

There are a number of challenges faced by traditional pharmaceutical supply chains when it comes to dealing with counterfeit drugs, some of these include;

• Every Actor faces the problem of a lack of traceability of the product through the entire supply chain.
• Management of all information, documents and data involved in the supply chain process.
• Theft or Manipulation of shipments is a major issue for distributors.
• Validating and verifying the authenticity of the drugs by the retailer.
• Ensuring the authenticity of a particular drug by the end consumer.

SOLUTION

Blockchain technology consists of a chain of blocks that are linked using cryptography. It is based on distributed ledger technology (DLT) which allows users to share data amongst each other freely and cannot be changed without consensus. This technology provides transparency, traceability, security and fast access to data using a single application. These features build trust amongst all the actors.
