Amazon to discontinue its Amazon Care telemedicine service
Amazon will discontinue its Amazon Care telemedicine service, launched just three years ago, at the end of this year, believing that its offering was not comprehensive enough.
But he says the decision does not reflect any less ambition in the health sector. “We have come to the conclusion that Amazon Care is not a long-term solution for our corporate clients,” Neil Lindsay, group’s health services business manager, wrote in a memo distributed internally, a copy of which was obtained by AFP on Thursday.
Initially dedicated to the company’s employees only, the offer, which also includes home visits, was offered in 2021 to all companies in the United States.
Amazon Care “is not a complete enough offer for the large companies we are targeting and could not have been successful in the long term,” added the manager, who said that “many” employees of the subsidiary would be offered positions within the group’s health branch.
