After having started in the sale of books and then having diversified into the cloud (Amazon Web Services), streaming (Prime Video, Amazon Music) or even supermarkets (Whole Foods), Amazon is now inviting itself into medical practices.
The e-commerce giant announced Thursday that it would pay nearly $3.9 billion to buy a private American healthcare network, One Medical.
This group, a time financed by Google, owns both 182 medical centers with licked decoration and teleconsultation services, accessible at any time, against a subscription of 199 dollars per year.
"We believe health is pretty high on the list of services that need to be reinvented
," said Neil Lindsay, vice president of Amazon Health Services, the Seattle-based health care subsidiary.
