Dear Friends and Colleagues,
On behalf of the organising team, it is my privilege to welcome all of you to the 48th National Conference of the Association of Clinical Biochemists of India to be held in New Delhi from 24th to 26th November 2022, with several interesting pre-conference workshops on 22nd and 23rd November 2022.
The last few years have been challenging due to the Covid pandemic. It has emphasized the critical role played by laboratorians in day-to-day healthcare delivery, demanding frequent deliberations and improvements in standards of patient care.
Despite these challenges, the field of Laboratory Medicine continues to evolve at a fervid pace. Though the virtual platform for webinars and CMEs has been a saviour during these pandemic-ridden years, it is no match for the academically bustling atmosphere of an in-person conference. Hence, we bring to you a feast of orations, plenary lectures, symposia and workshops, presenting an opportunity to discuss and deliberate on the latest advances in clinical chemistry.
We look forward to meeting you soon!

New Delhi is India’s capital and is one of the most widely known cities of the country. It is mostly famous for its rich and unique heritage and culture. There are several unique and beautiful monuments present in Delhi. A symbol of the country’s rich past and thriving present, Delhi is a city where ancient and modern blend seamlessly together. It is a place that not only touches your pulse but even fastens it to a frenetic speed. Home to millions of dreams, the city takes on unprecedented responsibilities of realizing dreams bringing people closer and inspiring their thoughts.
All this is combined with the best features of a modern city such as a metro system, bustling markets and fabulous eating places. The past and the present meld seamlessly together, making centuries-old monuments a part of the city’s daily life. Delhi is very much a history’s child. The story of the city is as old as the epic Mahabharata, when the town was known as Indraprastha, where Pandavas used to live. Over the centuries, eight more cities came alive adjacent to Indraprastha: Lal Kot, Siri, Dinpanah, Quila Rai Pithora, Ferozabad, Jahanpanah, Tughlakabad and Shahjahanabad. Many empires rose to the heights of their power and were destroyed here. Among the prominent dynasties which made Delhi their capital were the Tughlaqs, the Khiljis and the Mughals.
