Amazon India customers can now book diagnostic tests on their app, as the e-commerce giant expands its medical offerings beyond online pharmacy and teleconsultations.
The company sees a massive opportunity to scale up its healthcare offerings, especially in India, a senior executive said in an interview.
“Healthcare is a daily need - second only to grocery in some ways. We’re not setting a fixed number goal, but this could become a very large and meaningful part of Amazon’s offerings in India,” Jayaramakrishnan Balasubramanian, category leader at Amazon Medical said.
Amazon is partnering with diagnostics lab Orange Health to offer the service, beginning with Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Mumbai and Hyderabad. The service will be scaled up gradually.
