MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN, SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE,
WASPaLM

Dear Esteemed Colleagues and Friends,

With great pleasure, I announce the forthcoming XXXIV WASPaLM World Congress 2025, in collaboration with the 51st Annual Conference of the Association of Clinical Biochemists of India. This distinguished event is scheduled at WESTIN, Koregaon Park in Pune, India from October 13 - 16, 2025. The conference endeavours to address the formidable challenges encountered by healthcare systems and laboratory medicine worldwide, which directly impact patient outcomes. WASPaLM stands as a leading force in generating evidence on the value and impact of laboratory medicine in enhancing global healthcare delivery.

In an era marked by advancements in clinical research, precision medicine, biomedical discovery, and medical diagnosis, the importance of Artificial Intelligence (Al) and Data Science cannot be overstated. Foundational techniques such as machine learning (ML), including its subsets like deep learning, and other Al-driven approaches play a crucial role in assisting epidemiologists and clinicians in predicting virus spread and preventing non-transmissible diseases through early detection, monitoring, data compilation, and healthcare worker training.

Simultaneously, the utilization of telemedicine, mobile health, and the Internet of Things continues to rise. It is imperative for Laboratory Medicine professionals to effectively implement and evaluate these innovative technologies and practices within healthcare delivery services, while also considering regulatory and ethical aspects to ensure patient safety.

The Scientific Program Committee for WASPaLM World Congress 2025 Pune is diligently curating an exceptional program that aims to showcase the future of laboratory diagnostics, encompassing cutting-edge science and disruptive technologies in diagnostic laboratory medicine. Furthermore, the committee is dedicated to maintaining a meticulous balance with traditional Laboratory Medicine.

I am confident that participants from around the world will find WASPaLM World Congress 2025 Pune to be a rewarding and memorable experience.

I eagerly anticipate our gathering in Pune, India at WASPaLM World Congress2025.
