<![CDATA[Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that has a significant impact across the country and is a major focus of treatment in primary health care. This study aims to assess the implementation of the chronic disease management program (PROLANIS) related to DM at the Kramatsari Community Health Center in Pekalongan City. The method used was descriptive qualitative, with in-depth interviews conducted with four informants: the head of the community health center, the community health center coordinator, and two program participants. Data analysis was conducted using a thematic approach based on the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, along with source triangulation to increase data validity.
