Veritas Intercontinental opens an office in Bogota from which it will manage operations and commercial activity for Colombia and Latin America.

Veritas reinforces its commitment in the Latin American market with an approach to preventive medicine in which the analysis and interpretation of the genome offers a new perspective, enabling integral health care.

Veritas made the test available to anyone committed to taking care of their health and obtaining a better quality of life. The information received in the test result gives you an insight into the personal risks for developing more than 650 diseases, your carrier status, the pharmacogenomic profile and much more. For Veritas, genome sequencing is the first step in a journey that will change people’s lives.
