You must be familiar with the news that Shoppers Drug Mart has recently invested $75 million in Canada's most popular telemedicine platform - Maple.

But do you know why they are partnering? Here is where the powerful business strategy hides.

Telemedicine becomes extremely popular among Canadians.

Thus, all hospitals, clinics, and even pharmacies are adopting telemedicine platforms.

With the help of Maple, Shoppers Drug Mart has started offering telemedicine services from its more than 160 stores in British Columbia.
