RAPS for RHFWTC

During the recently concluded Training Needs Assessment presentation in Shillong, the government proposed to upgrade the Regional Health and Family Welfare Training Centre (RHFWTC) to a Nodal Centre of Excellence for the state by bringing all types of training for health care providers under its ambit. In this regard, stakeholders from RHFWTC, MHSSP and RICPHI, jointly organized brainstorming session on July 26th, 2023, in the RHFWTC premises. RICPHI team volunteered to facilitate the session using the Risk Assessment and Problem-Solving methodology, which has been used by RICPHI extensively for consensus building, based on theories of group dynamics, design thinking and participatory research. The session included participants indulging in a visioning exercise, gap analysis and prototyping of solutions for the RHFWTC. A compiled document which is an output of the exercise has been discussed the leadership in the state for further actions.
