Foreword "The impact we dream to have in every patient’s life drives every effort we make. If we stay true to our values and remain tenacious in our resolve, the future of healthcare delivery is ours for the taking.”

Mustafa Barbhuiya, PhD Founder Director This year marked the seventh year anniversary of the foundation. In 2025, the FAED in India achieved several milestones. The successful renewal of DSIR-SIRO, Govt of India recognition up to 2027 has been a great team effort. The FAED team has been conducting a needs and gaps assessment of diagnostic availability across health systems in India. The collaborative work expanded to Tripura, West Bengal, Karnataka, Punjab, Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi-NCR, and Uttar Pradesh through our partners. We plan to maintain momentum to nearly cover all states and union territories through FAED activities in 2026. FAED has continued efforts in identifying anemia hot spots in several poverty-stricken districts in Assam and developing intervention models based on the recommendations of ‘Anemia Mukt Bharat’ campaigns and other scientific intervention models. Our efforts to end TB through screening, diagnosing, and appropriately treating the TB patients remain a cornerstone to eliminate TB from India. FAED participated as a Nikshay Mitra for 100 TB patients as part of civic engagement efforts under the Nikshay Poshan Yojana. These efforts are learning opportunities to innovate in the last-mile healthcare delivery.

We envision several of these activities, which are relevant to the healthcare needs of people in North East India, continuing. In the coming years, the FAED will expand its 3D Mission activity pan-India around primary healthcare delivery, as mentioned in this report. We have over 1.5 billion people in India. Approximately 70% currently live in 650,000+ villages, with a highly informal healthcare delivery system. We will keep them in mind as we expand our activities in 2026 and beyond. The impact we aim to have on every patient’s life drives every effort we make within FAED. If we stay true to our values and remain tenacious in our resolve, the future of healthcare delivery is ours to seize.

We are grateful to funding agencies, scientific collaborators, donors, volunteers, friends, and supporters for their support on our journey. We have a learned scientific advisory board and an institutional ethics committee, to whom we are grateful for their guidance.

Looking forward to your continued support in this journey.

On behalf of the Team FAED, I wish you a delighted, healthy, and prosperous new year in 2026.

Comprehensive Medical Relief for Displaced Tribal Communities of Manipur On February 9th, 2025, the FAED team carried out a camp at the refugee camp at Fulertol, Lakhipur Cachar. Doctors provided medical consultations, free medication, and identified individuals requiring follow-up care. Assessed basic health parameters, particularly for women and children. A total of 487 individuals benefited from the project. A total of 66 individuals were screened for BMI, blood pressure, and infections. This was a sequel of follow-up camps to the May 2025 violent clashes between the Meitei and tribal (Kuki and Hmar) communities in Manipur, which led to severe displacement, casualties, and destruction of property. Over 46,000 people were evacuated, with 1,809 houses burned and hundreds of injuries reported. A large number of displaced individuals sought refuge in the Cachar district

of Assam—primarily in Fulertol, Hmarkhawlien, and

Lalpani areas. These

communities

face

persistent

challenges

including lack of healthcare, food insecurity, inadequate shelter, poor hygiene, and disrupted education. Earlier In 2024, FAED promptly collaborated with local government medical teams, conducted a detailed health assessment for the displaced communities. The first major health camp was held on September 19, 2024, at Hmarkhawlien village in Cachar district. This year, our efforts continued to support these members of the affected community.

Assessed basic health parameters, particularly for women and children.

Distributed essential food supplies and medicines to all displaced individuals.

Conducted awareness programs and distributed hygiene materials.

Provided winter clothing and relief material to the displaced population.

FAED’s Comprehensive Medical & Winter Relief initiative has significantly contributed to improving the health, nutrition, and living conditions of the displaced tribal communities from Manipur. Despite operational challenges, the program successfully met its objectives and established a foundation for continued humanitarian engagement. FAED remains committed to supporting vulnerable populations through sustained relief, healthcare, and awareness interventions in coordination with local authorities and partners.

Nutritional & Healthcare support for flood affected communities in Assam The Barak Valley in Assam experienced one of its most severe floods in 2025, affecting more than 6.33 lakh people across 21 districts. The deluge, worsened by climate change and inadequate flood management, resulted in widespread damage to homes, croplands, and health infrastructure. The districts of Silchar, Sribhumi, and Hailakandi were among the worst affected, with extensive displacement and food insecurity. In response, the Foundation for Advancement of Essential Diagnostics (FAED), with financial support from the Association for India’s Development (AID), initiated the project 'Holistic Nutritional and Healthcare Support for Communities Recently Affected by Floods in Assam’s Barak Valley'. The project aimed to deliver immediate nutritional and medical relief, promote health awareness, and build community resilience through data-driven interventions. Immediately after the flood, FAED teams conducted field surveys in flood-affected areas to determine the extent of damage and identify the most vulnerable communities. Following the flood event, FAED teams conducted a rapid needs assessment to identify areas requiring urgent intervention. The survey focused on parameters such as population displacement, food availability, and access to medical services. Based on the findings, three locations — Suprakandi village in Sribhumi District, Nitai Nagar & Cheptibrojopur villages of Hailakandi and Udharbond circle in Cachar District — were prioritized for immediate action. These areas exhibited severe food shortages, damaged infrastructure, and a large number of vulnerable families.

Flood relief camps were conducted at Sribhumi and Cachar, Assam. Organized by FAED with support from AID (USA).

Supplied essential nutritional and Medical Relief Materials to the Most Affected Population Health Protection and Awareness Initiative for Flood-Affected Communities After both camps, all collected data was compiled and analyzed. The total number of individuals benefited from this intervention was approximately 2367 people, distributed equally by gender.

The timely support from AID, USA enabled FAED to respond quickly and effectively to the crisis in Barak Valley. By combining immediate relief with basic health assessment, this intervention provided both urgent aid and insight into ongoing health challenges in the region. FAED remains committed to reaching the remaining affected districts and ensuring long-term recovery and resilience for floodimpacted communities.

ICMR Recommended National Essential Diagnostic List (NEDL) availability survey To improve access to diagnostic services, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Essential Diagnostics List (EDL) in 2018. The WHO EDL aims to standardize diagnostic tests, reduce costs, and improve quality across all levels of healthcare. Following this, India developed its National Essential Diagnostics List (NEDL) in 2019. India’s healthcare system is organized into three tiers: primary (SubCentres and Primary Health Centres), secondary (Community Health Centres and Sub-District Hospitals), and tertiary (District Hospitals and Medical Colleges). In this project, we assessed the availability of essential diagnostic tests in public health facilities in accordance with the ICMR NEDL 2019 guidelines. To date, we have surveyed 327 public health facilities across eight states and the Union Territory of Delhi, covering 24 districts.

To assess the availability of essential diagnostic tests in public health facilities as per the ICMR National Essential Diagnostics List (NEDL-2019).

To compare diagnostic availability across different levels of healthcare (primary, secondary, and tertiary) in selected states, districts, and Delhi.

The work has been either published, under peer-review and presented in international forums.

Our survey identified substantial deficiencies in the availability of diagnostics listed on the National Essential Diagnostics List (NEDL) across public healthcare facilities. These gaps were most pronounced in rural and geographically challenging regions of India. The findings underscore an urgent need to strengthen diagnostic infrastructure, capacity, and service delivery at the primary healthcare level to

ensure equitable access to essential diagnostics.

Nutritional support for TB-patients as Nikshay Mitra Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge in India, particularly among socioeconomically vulnerable populations. Poor nutritional status weakens immunity, increases the risk of developing active TB, delays recovery, and raises the chances of treatment failure and mortality.

Although the Government of India has introduced the Nikshay Poshan Yojana (NPY) to provide financial assistance to TB patients for nutritional support, several gaps remain in timely disbursement, adequacy of support, and utilization of the incentive for appropriate nutrition. In many districts, TB patients continue to suffer from food insecurity, anemia, weight loss, and co-morbidities such as diabetes.

Women, elderly patients, migrant workers, and daily wage earners are particularly vulnerable. There is a critical need for a community-based TB nutrition support (TB Poshan) initiative that complements the national program by ensuring direct access to nutritious food, regular nutrition counselling, and close follow-up during the treatment period. This proposal outlines a TB Poshan Program aimed at improving the nutritional status, treatment adherence, and overall outcomes of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant TB patients through structured nutritional support and community engagement.

To provide monthly nutrition kits to TB patients for the full duration of their treatment.

Effort to improve body weight, BMI, and hemoglobin levels of enrolled TB patients.

Enhance treatment adherence and reduce loss to follow-up.

Create awareness about TB nutrition through counseling and community education.

Support vulnerable TB patients who are unable to meet basic dietary requirements to augment existing government schemes.

Reconnecting to the roots of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs)

Sir Ronald Ross, KCB KCMG FRS FRCS was a British physician scientist, born in Almora, India, who received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1902 for his work on the transmission of malaria, becoming the first British Nobel laureate, and the first born outside Europe. The historic Labac Tea Estate Hospital near Silchar, Assam, India is where he conducted crucial malaria research; his equipment is preserved as a living museum. He worked there in the late 1890s, discovering the link between mosquitoes and malaria, and his legacy is honored at this location, which has historical medical tools and displays. FAED’s Dr. Biswajit Chakraborty visited this site, as seen in the photos above. FAED is actively pursuing collaborations with the Labac Tea Estate Hospital to revive the lost glory of Ross Lab
