Abstract This study delves into the metamorphic potential pertaining to blockchain technology public health, concentrating on its aptness towards addressing the critical challenges related to data security, privacy, and it enroute for improving health service outcomes. By incorporating decentralized structures and smart contracts, blockchain intensify data integrity, ensuring consistency and protective access control, which is principally effective for sensitive medical information. The study enlightens on the advantages of blockchain in entrusting patients as well as healthcare providers with control over public health related information, ensuring privacy and reinforcing regulatory compliance. It delves into the process of how blockchain can streamline healthcare processes, upgrading interoperability among healthcare systems, and create more systematic and affordable models for healthcare service delivery. Based on the case studies from different healthcare stakeholders, the paper provides factual and feasible insights for real-world implementations of blockchain in healthcare, exhibiting its potential to transfigure supply chain management, different insurance claims processing and managing electronic health records. Moreover, the study also recognizes the challenges, including technical constraints, ethical reviews, and the complication of integrating blockchain with existing healthcare framework. The study widens it discussion towards the legal and regulatory aspect, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach to adoption. Looking forward, the paper covers the emerging trends and offers guidance for healthcare stakeholders considering blockchain implementation, summarizing that blockchain could be a catalyst for remarkable improvements in public healthcare data administration and patient care.
