One area where cloud computing has transformed the field is in the healthcare aspect; it has been able to offer scalable, efficient, and cost-effective storage abilities for patient data. Nevertheless, as the concept of cloud computing is increasingly being utilized; the challenges when it comes to the safety and privacy of sensitive data are of much concern to healthcare institutions. An opportunity to resolve these issues may lie in Blockchain, which has decentralized, transparent, and immutable features. The present paper deals with the integration of blockchain technology into healthcare cloud computing systems; the discussion of the potential of blockchain technology to enhance security, preserve patient privacy, and enhance data integrity is provided. This paper, based on a literature review, addresses the possible advantages, obstacles, and future of using Blockchain in cloud computing in the healthcare field
