Abstract :
Blockchain technology has gained the acceptance of the whole world. It is a decentralized approach which makes our electronic technology into a different way. We can implement blockchain technology into various ways. It is used in social and industry level, finance, medical science and supply chain management system and so on. It gives us immutability and transparency that is the most attractive features of blockchain technology. However, there are lots of research done in Blockchain technology, but still there are having so much space to improve this technology. Our research aims to create a medical supply chain using by blockchain technology. We find the identity gaps in our existing evidence of blockchain implementation in medical supply chain and try to make a stable solution.
