Walmart Inc has announced the launch of a nationwide same-day pharmacy delivery service, aiming to deliver prescriptions to US homes in as little as 30 minutes.

The service will utilize Walmart's extensive store footprint and will be available in 49 states by 2025. Walmart+ members will receive free delivery on pharmacy orders, while non-members will have to pay a fee. This development comes as CVS and Walgreens face challenges in the pharmacy sector.
