The 18th Congress of Asia-Pacific Federation for Clinical Biochemistry & Laboratory Medicine (APFCB) 2027 is the premier regional scientific gathering for professionals in clinical biochemistry, laboratory medicine, pathology, diagnostics, and healthcare innovation across the Asia-Pacific region. Held under the auspices of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC), the Congress serves as a vital platform for advancing scientific knowledge, fostering collaboration, and shaping the future of laboratory medicine.
Bringing together leading scientists, laboratory professionals, clinicians, researchers, industry partners, and healthcare policymakers, the Congress will showcase the latest developments in diagnostic technologies, precision medicine, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, quality management, molecular diagnostics, and emerging laboratory practices.
Under the theme "Scientific Advances and Innovations – Embracing the Challenges of Laboratory Medicine," the Congress will explore how the profession can navigate evolving healthcare demands, technological disruption, workforce challenges, and increasing expectations for patient-centred care. Through plenary lectures, scientific symposia, workshops, poster presentations, and industry exhibitions, delegates will gain valuable insights into cutting-edge research, innovative solutions, and best practices that are transforming laboratory medicine worldwide.
As one of the most significant laboratory medicine events in the region, the APFCB Congress 2027 offers unparalleled opportunities for scientific exchange, professional development, networking, and collaboration among experts dedicated to improving healthcare outcomes through excellence in laboratory diagnostics.

The Malaysian Association of Clinical Biochemists (MACB) is the driving force behind this congress, dedicated to advancing the field of clinical biochemistry in Malaysia and beyond. Established with the goal of promoting excellence in laboratory medicine, MACB serves as a platform for professionals to collaborate, share knowledge, and foster innovation in clinical biochemistry.
