Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unexpected changes in various sectors, particularly in thehealth field. It has significantly impacted pharmaceutical supply chains, revealing weaknesses ininformation exchange and transparency within the chain. Patients are uncertain about theintegrity of medications, and a major vulnerability is the lack of effective methods to track drugsthroughout different stages of the supply chain. There is also a lack of synchronized observationsamong all parties involved in the system regarding the current status of drugs. The risks of thepharmaceutical supply chain have become increasingly evident, contradicting the current digitaltransformation era in Egypt. We propose a reliable automated system using blockchaintechnology and the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance the performance of the pharmaceuticalsupply chain. This would make the manufacturing and distribution of drugs in Egypt moreefficient.
