All of our actions are taken in the aim of constantly innovating and improving our tests, offering patients clinical benefits and bringing medico-economic advancements to the healthcare system. This first half has shown that when the key elements of our business model are firmly in place, we see results. We remain focused on our targets for the year: keep innovation at the heart of our positioning, prioritize growth, particularly abroad – with a focus on operations in the United States. Theradiag has confirmed its goal to continue improving its financial indicators, in order to return to profitability from the end of 2019.” commented Bertrand de Castelnau, Theradiag’s Chief Executive Officer.
