International Federation of Biomedical Laboratory Science established BLS Day in 1996 at the IFBLS World Congress in Oslo, Norway to promote and celebrate the key role of Biomedical Laboratory personnel in diagnostic and preventive health care systems.

Promote and celebrate

The purpose of BLS Day is to increase the awareness of the role that Biomedical Laboratory Scientists have in providing health care. Biomedical Laboratory Scientists play a key role in diagnosis, quality development and assurance, treatment, research and development in the modern medical sciences.

International BLS Day gives our profession a day to promote and celebrate ourselves as a profession.

The theme for International BLS Day 2025/2026 is:

Biomedical Laboratory Scientists Promoting Sustainability in Clinical Diagnostics

This two-year theme, as selected by the IFBLS Board of Directors, highlights the vital role of Biomedical Laboratory Scientists in advancing clinical health care while prioritising environmental responsibility.

On 15th April 2025, let us celebrate together the innovative efforts of BLS professionals worldwide implementing sustainable practices that improve diagnostics and reduce waste, as we continue to make a profound impact on global health and the environment.

Thank you for your dedication and contributions as we work towards a healthier, more sustainable future.
