London telehealth startup Babylon Health, once valued at nearly $2 billion, has faced insolvency, with its U.S. shares rendered virtually worthless. Its U.K. subsidiary entered administration, selling assets to eMed Healthcare UK. The deal includes Babylon Healthcare Services Limited, covering a significant portion of Babylon's telehealth practice. Babylon's GP at Hand service remains operational and unaffected. The company had faced business turmoil, losing major contracts and enduring concerns about patient safety and corporate governance. Talks of an acquisition by MindMaze and AlbaCore fell through, leading to the winding down of U.S. operations.
