Participants receive direct education from doctors and medical staff covering dietary adjustments, adequate rest, and regular medication. The program also includes health check-ups and exercises tailored for Prolanis members. "They are continuously educated, there are regular health examinations, and even exercises for prolanis participants. They are taught how to live healthily so their physical condition does not decline further," Adriansyah explained.

Adriansyah emphasized that Prolanis aims to ensure that patients with conditions such as hypertension and diabetes have their health under control. The program involves regular monitoring and check-ups by assigned doctors. He also expressed appreciation for the support from the Minahasa Selatan Regional Government, forkopimda, and related partners who strengthen Prolanis in the region. The 'Refreshing Club Prolanis' event in Tumpaan District, themed 'Healthy, Fit, Happy with Prolanis,' was attended by over 200 chronic disease sufferers.
