520			_aNumerous obstacles confront supply chain management, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector. These problems include the challenges of ensuring the authenticity and protection of medications, preventing the production and distribution of counterfeit drugs, and upholding streamlined and transparent procedures. Implementing innovative techniques is essential to ensuring patient safety and enhancing the smooth administration of life-saving drugs. This thesis explores the capacity of blockchain technology to transform the management of pharmaceutical supply chains. This study examines how the fundamental attributes of blockchain, such as its distributed ledger, immutability, and security, can improve transparency, traceability, and collaboration in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The objective is to enhance processes, minimize risks related to counterfeiting and fraud, and ultimately guarantee patient safety. By analyzing existing literature, case studies, and potentially conducting empirical research, this study aims to gain a thorough understanding of how blockchain might integrate into the pharmaceutical supply chain. The research will explore the fundamental elements of the proposed concept, encompassing smart contracts, distributed ledgers, and data management systems. This will clarify the functions of these pieces and showcase their ability to simplify processes, improve efficiency, and combat counterfeiting. This research provides significant data for stakeholders in the pharmaceutical supply chain, such as pharmaceutical corporations, distributors, regulators, and healthcare providers. This initiative intends to enhance the security, transparency, and efficiency of the pharmaceutical supply chain by investigating and describing a system based on blockchain technology.
