Rappi, a Latin America tech company that reached unicorn valuation by delivering meals and groceries, has a new idea: doctor house calls and prescription medications ordered through its mobile phone app.
The Colombia-based delivery service is partnering with French bio-pharmaceutical giant Sanofi to offer health care services in Latin America. The partnership will initially offer over-the-counter consumer health care products, Sanofi said in a statement, without disclosing the financial terms of the arrangement.
