The present avatar of the association was conceived on the cricket field by the Pathologists Team winning tournament after tournament. It was perceived that to address and discuss issues relating to the pathologists it was imperative to form a registered body with a proper constitution, aims and policies. After some initial groundwork a meeting of all pathologists and microbiologist was called in April 2013 to discuss and formulate the basic framework. Following the tireless efforts of many this was finally achieved in December 2014 culminating in the birth of “Pathologists and Microbiologists Welfare Society”.
