Amazon remote Care Service is closed, employee benefits are gone and unemployment

Beijing, August 25 (Xinhua) Amazon Care (Amazon Care) will end face-to-face and virtual services by the end of this year. The Washington Post says dozens of workers will lose their jobs, some of them as early as October.

It is understood that Amazon Care (Amazon Care) was launched in Seattle, Washington, in 2019 as a pilot program for employees. The project provides telemedicine and on-demand services by teams of doctors in different fields, and caregivers and medical service providers do not have physical offline office locations.

It is reported that the senior vice president of Amazon Health said that "the decision was made after months of careful consideration". "although our registered members like many aspects of Amazon Care, it is not complete enough for the large corporate customers we have been targeting, and it will not be effective in the long run."
