Abstract

The pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus has unquestionably opened our eyes to the possibility that we may run out of essential supplies, such as medications and medical equipment, which would result in people's deaths and increased anxiety. Insufficient funds and raw materials aren't the only factors contributing to this situation; there's also another factor that's much more discouraging. Even in the midst of these challenging circumstances, some individuals have been able to see an opportunity in the scenario that allows them to maintain and store vital equipment such as personal protective equipment kits, masks, sanitizers, and the like, and then start black-selling such items. This very problematic circumstance has arisen as a direct result of deficiencies in the supply chain's control, transparency, and traceability. Blockchain technology presents itself as a potentially useful answer to this issue. The information may be tracked and traced using blockchain technology, which can also be used to store the data in a decentralised and immutable manner, ensuring that it remains private and is protected from unauthorised users. This article discusses the many use cases for healthcare personnel as well as the various constraints of the present blockchain architecture for supply chain. [Citation needed] The shortcomings of the current blockchain framework for supply chains are then addressed via the proposal of a new framework.
