- and as well reducing the amount of counterfeit drugs produced.
Prior to this research conducted, the co-founders of ZhongAn Tech plans to make a move towards reducing the risk and costs in the health care sector using blockchain technology.
ZhongAn Tech was founded in the year 2013 by the richest man in China, Jack Ma, who is also the founder of the Alibaba business group in China, alongside other 2 co-founderss Pon Ma Huateng of Tencent holdings and Peter Ma Mingzhe of Ping An Insurance.
