Abstract

While the world grappled with the COVID-19 pandemic and its externalities, scientists have recommended that the global community brace against potential future pandemics. The need to build resilient systems has never been this urgent. The world, especially emerging economies, faces acute food insecurity, high food prices, failing health infrastructure and rampant misinformation spread, among others. Since blockchain technology (BCT) has been discussed in the supply chain resilience context, and it offers the potential to develop resilient systems, we aim to outline the potential of BCT to help build resilience against ongoing and future pandemics. Mainly, we focus on BCT for healthcare management, disruption management of food supply chains, human resource management, modern education and certification and governance and administration
