Impact Analysis

Ministry, Department and Organisations (MDOs) under DoHFW

Impact MDOs are positioned as the central entities for driving Mission Karmayogi. They are now integrated into a collaborative "whole-of-government" framework intended to improve inter-organizational communication and operational capacity.

Action Required MDOs must strengthen their internal Capacity Building Units (CBUs) and finalize their specific Annual Capacity Building Plans (ACBP) for 2026–27. Additionally, they are expected to develop and contribute content for health-related training courses.

Healthcare Professionals (Nursing, Caregivers, and Allied Health)

Impact These groups are the primary beneficiaries of the proposed capacity-building initiatives. The development of specialized domain courses is intended to enhance their professional skills and the quality of geriatric and general care.
