【Abstract】Blockchain technology (BCT) is beneficial for the Healthcare Sustainable Supply Chain (HSSC), and the adoption of this technology provides many benefits improving the performance of the supply chain, effortless information sharing, mitigation of data modification, etc. On the contrary, this study focuses on the various challenges that come in the path while adopting the BCT. For this, the present study initially identified the multiple challenges from the in-depth literature review. Then, the Delphi method was applied for further analysis and scalability of each challenge. Afterward, Modified-Total Interpretive Structural Modeling (M-TISM) approach is used for identifying the criticality of challenges based on the classification of challenges into different levels. This operation provides the driving and dependence power of each challenge.Furthermore, MICMAC (Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Analysis) analysis was performed. At the end of the analysis, the authors found the six critical challenges related to the adoption of BCT in the Healthcare Sustainable Supply Chain (HSSC). These critical challenges are the Economical Challenge (C3), Stakeholder commitment and careful handling of BCT (C2), Combining SSCM practices to BCT(C7), Lack of government intentions to promote BCT in SCM (C6), Data Security threat (C1) and Poor infrastructure for the adoption of BCT (C4). The stakeholders of HSSC should make an effort to control them on a priority basis. In addition to this, the authors also provided the practical implication of the study and future research direction for better adoption of BCT in the Healthcare Sustainable Supply Chain.
