Abstract

Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) are facilities established to implement promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative health services by the government, local authorities, and the community. The system of drug planning and procurement plays a pivotal role in determining drug availability and the budget allocation required. This study aims to evaluate the process of drug planning and procurement using a combination of the ABC-VEN and Reorder Point (ROP) methods at the Belik Community Health Center, Pemalang Regency. This research is a descriptive analysis employing a retrospective case study design with data collection from January to December 2023 and supported by interviews.
