The Association of Clinical Laboratory Directors, Biomedical and Clinical Laboratory Scientists (ACLDBCLS) was founded in 2006 and represents the majority of Clinical Laboratories, the Biomedical and Clinical Laboratory Scientists who live and work in the island of Cyprus.

It is the only association officially recognized by the Government for the practice of Biomedical and Clinical Laboratory Science in Cyprus. The Association is a full member of the IFCC and the EPBS. The officers of the Association authorized to act for the Association are 9 (nine) professionals, organized as Members of the Board. Officially the Association is represented in different committees:

• Board of the Clinical Laboratories Registration Committee
• Advisory Committee for the National Health System
• Advisory Committee for Health Issues
• Members of the Association in the Cyprus Anti Doping Committee

The Association is involved in the field of Clinical Laboratory Science and its members are mostly persons employed in clinical laboratories on a professional level, the number of its active members is around 130, and holds regular meetings that include scientific programs, seminars and symposia. The Association has as its main Objective the improvement of clinical laboratory services in health care and medicine, the advancement of knowledge and the encouragement of research in Cyprus.

The objections of the Association are the protection of the scientific sector of the Clinical Laboratory Scientists as an independent scientific class and the coordination of activities among all members in order to develop a sense of responsibility to the clinical laboratory scientists for an effective, coordinated and well-organized confrontation of the problems they encounter.
