"A medicine you get in the US is not a medicine manufactured in the US, it's actually many components of a very diverse supply chain that includes many different countries, many different actors, and because of that, there's opportunities to infiltrate the supply chain."
'" Dr. Tim Mackey
Counterfeit drugs in the pharmaceutical supply chain are a serious issue, with 1 in 10 medical products in lower or middle income countries being counterfeit. In this episode, we explore how blockchain technology can help fight, or at least reduce, the amount of counterfeit drugs making their way to consumers. Special guest include pharma supply chain experts Dr. Tim Mackey of UC San Diego and Susanne Summerville of Chronicled.‚
