Established in the year 2010, the Histopathology and Cytology Society of Pakistan (HCSP) has emerged as a vibrant and dynamic organization dedicated to advancing the field of histopathology in Pakistan. At its core, HCSP was conceived with the vision of unifying the histopathology community in the country, fostering collaboration and collectively advancing the specialty.

The society was registered with the Government of Pakistan in Distt Rawalpindi on 6th October 2012. Over the years, HCSP has actively engaged in organizing annual conferences, providing a platform for professionals to exchange knowledge, share research findings, and discuss emerging trends and technologies in the field. In addition to its own annual conferences, the society has been a steadfast participant in the Annual Pakistan Association of Pathologists (PAP) conferences, further reinforcing its commitment to staying at the forefront of developments in pathology.

The inaugural annual conference in 2010, hosted and organized by Prof. Noshin Wasim Yusuf at Allama Iqbal Medical College, marked a significant milestone in HCSP’s journey. It was on this occasion that numerous esteemed senior histopathologists from across the country were honored and awarded life memberships in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the field.
