Uber, Oxxy tie up to provide cab rides to Delhi hospitals

New Delhi: Cab aggregator Uber has tied up with Oxxy healthcare network to provide pick and drop services to patients for all hospitals and diagnostic clinics in Delhi.

The development comes just days after the Delhi government asked the US-based online taxi-hailing company to submit a sworn affidavit declaring that it was complying the ban order imposed on it after one if its drivers was accused of raping a female passenger.

The service that is being launched on Tuesday will also have the facility to track the driver’s progress after requesting a ride, a statement said. “We are using Uber’s world class technology to make access to quality health care easier. Soon, we will be expanding our partnership to other cities as well,” Oxxy founder Pankaj Gupta said.

All the facilities can be availed by just logging on to the Oxxy website, the statement added.
