MINUTES OF ONLINE MEETING OF IAPM KERALA CHAPTER on 8\/7\/2025<\/strong><\/p>

Agenda: Discussion on standardisation of laboratory rates for tests signed out by Pathologists.<\/p>

\uf0d8 Meeting started at 7.30 pm, 8\/7\/2025 on zoom platform<\/p>

\uf0d8 32 members participated<\/p>

\uf0d8 Dr Neena Mampilly, the President IAPM Kerala chapter, welcomed the participants and initiated the discussion<\/p>

\uf0d8 Dr Ani Praveen, immediate past IAPM Secretary presented the minutes of General body meeting on 10-04-2023 regarding the standardisation of laboratory rates for tests signed out by Pathologists.<\/p>

\uf0d8 Dr Rajan G, immediate past President, suggested to demand a decent salary for pathologists instead of asking for revising the rate of individual investigations. He also suggested whether the ethic committee of IMA can help in stopping the financial cut given to clinicians for investigations, which causes the pathologist\u2019s loss of pay.<\/p>

\uf0d8 Dr Bhubaneswari suggested whether pathologist can get percentage cut per investigation as payment similar to clinicians. Though a novel idea, her proposal was not supported by others as investigation numbers varies from lab to lab.<\/p>

\uf0d8 Hence it was decided that basic salary should be fixed for the pathologist in every centre in Kerala<\/p>

\uf0d8 All participants accepted this and decided to negotiate with the lab owners\u2019 association for a starting pay of Rs 1.5 lakh per month for a fresh MD, post SR pathologist for 8 hr duty and 75K for 4 hr duty. With a hike to 1.75 lakhs after 3 yr experience and 2.25 lakhs after 5 yrs experience<\/p>

\uf0d8 Revised rate for investigations were also accepted for negotiation (please see the separate pdf below) with the lab owners association in the zoom meeting on 8\/7\/25.<\/p>

\uf0d8 It was also decided that all pathologists should stand united for this cause and be even ready for a statewide strike, if needed, to materialise the uniformity in the pay across the state<\/p>

\uf0d8 All the pathologists who are also lab owners were requested to attend tomorrows online meet to sort out the issue.<\/p>

The meeting ended at 8.45 pm<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
