UberMedic extended to private hospitals

Uber will make available its recently launched UberMedic service to healthcare workers in private hospitals as well, a top official has said.

This will be part of Uber’s efforts to scale up its UberMedic service, which went live just 48 hours back, Pradeep Parameswaran, President, Uber India SA, told BusinessLine.

Uber is adopting a multi-pronged approach for its Covid-19 response – bringing transportation services for healthcare workers and delivering everyday essentials at consumers’ doorsteps through last-mile delivery service (BigBasket). If authorities permit, it will soon take up transportation for emergency services such as moving patients to hospitals and essential service providers to workplaces.
