The move to digitalisation and the migration to the cloud have been happening gradually within the pharmaceutical sector. Immature digital cultures, lack of in-house data skills, or poorly defined digital strategies have combined to hold businesses back and historically, misperceptions of the cloud have played into this. Manufacturers that have established legacy systems are often unduly concerned about the security risks of moving to the cloud.

Jonas Lundqvist, CEO at Haidrun, explains how blockchain can help eliminate fraud and make a substantive difference to the pharmaceutical supply chain.
Pharmaceutical fraud remains a major challenge for the healthcare industry and the coronavirus pandemic has led to a further rise in counterfeit medicines creating a serious health threat to patients and significant challenges for enforcement authorities. From a supply chain perspective, it diminishes the commercial trust that needs to exist between organisations to provide essential products from manufacturing to patient. In the US alone, according to Deloitte, more than $200bn is lost each year because of counterfeit drugs infiltrating insecure supply chains. Against this backdrop, blockchain has been identified by the pharmaceutical indus…
