Uber Technologies Inc.'s healthcare unit said it is embedding same-day prescription delivery into its platform, bolstering its offerings for healthcare providers.

Uber launched Uber Health in 2018, focusing mostly on non-emergency medical transportation. The company has since expanded into prescription delivery.

"Too much time has been spent ensuring patients had a ride to their follow-up appointment, had picked up the right prescriptions, or had access to food," said Caitlin Donovan, global head of Uber Health. "That's why I'm proud to add a scalable prescription delivery solution to our platform that empowers care teams to fully close the loop."

Uber said it is expanding its preexisting partnership with Ohio-based ScriptDrop to integrate the prescription-delivery systems into its platform.
