As part of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare programmes, NPOP, the NPHCE provided operational guidelines, which support the provision of accessible, affordable, comprehensive and high quality long-term care to the elder population (MoHFW, 2011). However, there are no regulatory mechanisms in place for long-term care workers.
