First, coming to your thesis statement, since you have mentioned, "many developments carried out by various governments/decision makers" you should give preview of those developments in your outline, i.e., past-policies/initiatives. I am sure you have included such developments in your arguments but they are not obvious in outline. It must be vivid.

Second,
"B) What is Health governance?
i) Definition and basic elements of health governance
ii) Role of governance in the health sector
iii) Health governance and the changing dynamics" just a simple paragraph will suffice definition. Going in such explanations make essay less interesting, since checker already know what is a definition of the topic. Besides, B-iii seems not to be its sub-heading. It feels more like a separate heading, so you can either make it separate heading or find it a right placement.

Third,
"C) Health governance in Pakistan
i) Historical perspective
ii) Evolving structure of health governance and the present scenario
iii) The pre-devolution and post-devolution scenario" sub-headings i andii are fine but iii has semblance with above two. You can cut it out/rephrase. I suggest brief historical overview will suffice rather than detail.

Most importantly, after this heading you must not go to, "D) How the crisis emerged in Pakistan?"(causes), instead as mentioned in your thesis statement,"...however, the state of governance in the health sector of Pakistan is still in crisis and needs uplifting." You must emphasize to prove how still it is in crisis, i.e., give arguments. That is a core of your essay. Because you have driven assessor (in the thesis statement) to look for arguments that health governance is in crisis. Include those (core) arguments in you outline than expanding definitions or history.

Fourth, certain sub-headings in "D" causes are ambiguous need to be rephrased to be more clear, for instance, "Weak health governance and monitoring system."

Fifth, add more arguments to the impacts. Essay must be balanced throughout.

Hope it helps!

"B) What are the factors that influence the future of a nation?" This part should be made concise, for it breaks the logical flow. Just a few paragraphs under one heading would suffice. Since, your core argument is to talk about how classrooms decide the future of a nation, Therefore, you should stick to it. And, also this (B) should not precede "how classrooms decide...." part, because again it is not the primary argument. (I know you will argue that you have construct outline in line with the thesis statement.)

Secondly, before going to "C) How classrooms decide the future of a nation?" you should construe what do you mean by classrooms. It must be clear to a reader that on what grounds you are going to approach the topic. That will narrow down your topic and add sense to your arguments.

Certain headings can be rephrased, i.e., "Development of social skills" (socialization),"Enhancement of self-esteem and self-confidence" (Enhance self-confidence)...

"ii) Classrooms impart critical thinking
iii) Classrooms develop a moral and civic sense
iv) Classrooms help in curbing extremism" (you have already mentioned Classrooms in your main heading so avoid repetition in sub-headings. It effects expression).

P.S. for next essay (outlines) reviews/practice use this following thread i have made for all. It will be convenient and accessible to all of us:
