.The Indian Confederation of Medical Laboratory Science (ICMLS) has been a long-standing advocate for the grant of special and risk-related allowances to Medical Laboratory Professionals, recognizing the vital and hazardous nature of their work. Medical Laboratory Professionals are continuously exposed to infectious agents, toxic chemicals, and biohazardous materials, often working under stressful conditions and irregular hours to ensure accurate and timely diagnostic support for patient care. Despite their crucial role, this category of healthcare professionals has historically been excluded or undercompensated in terms of allowances and risk benefits compared to other healthcare cadres.

Through sustained representation, research-based advocacy, and policy engagement, ICMLS continues to champion the cause of fair compensation and welfare benefits for all categories of laboratory professionals in both public and private sectors.
