medicines delivered to your home

He looks like a delivery man still hot pizzas, but he rushes into the streets of Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) to bring home medicine. A service that is developing from the Côte d’Azur to the capital.

A developing market

A Parisian company, Pharmao, already works with 1,200 pharmacies, but plans to expand. Nicolas Schweitzer, founder of the company, indicates: “Our ambition is to be able to deliver very isolated or fragile people in remote areas.” La Poste has also been offering a medicine delivery service by postmen since 2016 and today covers 84% ​​of the population. The next step will perhaps be the sending by drone, experienced in the south of the Gironde.
