As healthcare digitization progresses, securing sensitive patient data remains a critical challenge. Blockchain, a decentralized digital ledger technology, offers a promising solution by providing enhanced data integrity, security, and privacy. This paper examines the use of blockchain in healthcare for safeguarding patient data, examining its ability to mitigate cyber threats, ensure compliance with regulations, and promote trust in healthcare providers. Through case studies and real-world applications, this paper demonstrates how blockchain can revolutionize data security by offering decentralized, tamper-resistant, and transparent solutions. However, challenges related to its implementation, regulation, and adoption are also discussed. Ultimately, blockchain holds significant potential in transforming healthcare data management, but its adoption must be carefully navigated. Keywords: Blockchain, Patient Data Security, Healthcare, Decentralized Ledger, Data Privacy.
