SECUREMEDS: BLOCKCHAIN PROTECTION FOR DRUG CHANNELS

. The World Health Organisation (WHO) highlights the global threat of medicine counterfeiting, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where 10% of drugs may be counterfeit or of inferior quality, hence creating serious health hazards to the general public. Because there are shortages of necessary medications during illness outbreaks, this problem gets worse. Fighting this issue requires increased public awareness campaigns, improved pharmaceutical accessibility, and international cooperation Our goal is to create a strong framework for monitoring pharmaceuticals at every stage of the supply chain—manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and government agencies such as the FDA. A tamper-proof and easily traceable supply chain can be ensured by implementing blockchain technology and using transparent contractual arrangements. Furthermore, cutting-edge techniques like smart contracts made possible by Ganache and Ethereum improve supply chain integrity. Verification codes are sent via email to strengthen authentication processes and provide an additional degree of protection. Moreover, batch number hashing is secured by SHA encryption, guaranteeing complete protection during the distribution process. Global pharmaceutical safety and efficacy are guaranteed by this all-encompassing strategy.. .
