Ambler, Sanilea merge to manage and optimise medical transportation in France
Summary
Paris-based Ambler, a startup that digitises and optimises medical transport to make it more sustainable, announced on Tuesday, June 27, that it has merged with Sanilea, a company that claims to be a leader in the organisation of medical transport in France. Previously competitors, the two medical transportation rivals aim to create a ‘Mission-led Company’ that will manage and optimise medical transportation. Introduced in France in 2019 under the Pacte Law, a ‘Mission-led Company’ (‘société à mission’ in French) must declare its “raison d’être” and one or more social, societal, or environmental aims beyond profit. The objectives are consistent with the purpose and are outlined in the bylaws. The entity’s new “raison d’être” is “to contribute to the efficiency of the care pathway and the sustainability of the healthcare system, in the face of economic and climatic challenges, by optimising patient transportation”.
