Cendiatra

What Cendiatra does

Cendiatra (Centro de Diagnóstico y Tratamiento Cendiatra SAS) is a Colombian occupational health services provider founded in 1982 and headquartered in Bogotá. The company delivers mandatory occupational medical examinations under Decreto 1072 de 2015 — including pre-employment, periodic, retirement, and post-incapacity exams — together with paraclinical tests (audiometry, spirometry, visiometry), in-house clinical laboratory analysis, and ILO-OIT 2000 chest X-ray readings interpreted by NIOSH-authorized physicians. Its technology stack is centered on conventional clinical operations: an owned clinical laboratory in each city where it operates a branch, a DICOM-based image workflow for X-ray readings delivered within 24 hours, and a corporate client portal (portalcliente.cendiatra.com) for account recharges, service orders, and certificate downloads; a fully equipped mobile medical unit extends services to enterprise workplaces.

The company monetizes primarily through professional-services fees billed per exam, lab test, and ILO-OIT reading (the latter priced at $50,000 COP per reading, the only publicly disclosed unit price), supplemented by recurring corporate account recharges via the client portal. Distribution is hybrid: 29 directly owned branches across 14 Colombian cities deliver services directly to enterprise employers, while 72 verified allied IPS partners extend national coverage into secondary cities including Armenia, Cúcuta, Neiva, Pasto, and Valledupar. Sales run through direct enterprise field engagement, WhatsApp Business, quote-based ordering, and the self-serve portal. Customer segments span enterprise employers in manufacturing, construction, mining, food, and maritime industries — with the latter covered by Cendiatra's exclusive DIMAR authorization since 2013 to issue physical fitness certificates for Colombian seafarers (Gente de Mar), a regulatory moat no other Colombian IPS holds.

Cendiatra holds ISO 9001:2015 certification from Bureau Veritas, ONAC accreditation, and supervision by Supersalud. It received the Orden del Congreso de la República en grado de Comendador in 2024 and the Orden Civil al Mérito José Acevedo y Gómez en grado de Gran Cruz from the Consejo de Bogotá in 2025. The company employs over 500 specialized collaborators and is privately held with no disclosed external investors or parent company.
