This latest acquisition provides Amazon with even another entry point into the healthcare business, which has been a recent focus for the company. “We believe health care is high on the list of experiences that require reinvention,” said Neil Lindsay, senior vice president of Amazon Health Services, in a statement. “We see lots of opportunity to both improve the quality of the experience and give people back valuable time in their days.” “Booking an appointment, waiting weeks or even months to be seen, taking time off work, driving to a clinic, finding a parking spot, waiting in the waiting room then the exam room for what is too often a rushed few minutes with a doctor, then making another trip to a pharmacy – we see lots of opportunity to both improve the quality of the experience and give people back valuable time in their days
