Amazon has partnered with Orange Health Labs to launch Amazon Diagnostics in India. The new service claims to sample ‘blood tests at home in 60 minutes’ and offer ‘accurate reports in 6 hours’. The new service has launched in six cities in India for now – Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. More cities will be added in the future.

Amazon says that it covers over 450 pic codes and offers access to over 800 diagnostic tests through ‘Amazon Diagnostics’. This new service is available within the Amazon app, under the ‘Medical’ section. Earlier, this section allowed users to buy medicines and get doctor consultations as well.

The new ‘Amazon Diagnostics’ section expands Amazon’s medical services within the app. As part of the introductory offer, Amazon offers a 15 percent off with the code ‘AMAZON15’. This service will be available from 6am to 10pm.

Amazon also offers a chatbot help to book diagnostic services. Amazon Diagnostic is available for both Prime and Non-Prime members.

"This expansion strengthens the foundation of Amazon Medical by building on the existing service of Pharmacy and Clinic. With Amazon Pharmacy, customers get access to a wide range of prescription medications and healthcare essentials, along with a free telemedicine consultation service and delivery benefits for Prime and non-Prime members. Amazon Clinic enables customers to consult licensed doctors for a range of primary healthcare needs through a seamless digital experience," Amazon said in a statement.
