BACKGROUND: Child mortality rate in Indonesia is now fluctuating. The Province of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) had fluctuated infant mortality rate in the recent years. As a result, guidelines of Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) are still required to improve the health of Indonesian children. AIM: This study aimed to explore the implementation of IMCI in DIY Province in terms of input, process, and output components. METHODS: A case study approach with a qualitative method was conducted among implementers of IMCI in the DIY Province. The data were obtained from secondary sources, such as the reports, attendance lists, and focus group discussion video recordings. RESULTS: The results were differentiated by input, process, and output components. Most IMCI implementers have not received special training (input); there were no specific guidelines for sick children during the COVID-19 pandemic (process); and the IMCI implementation target has not been achieved with the percentage below 60–70% (output). CONCLUSION: The implementation of IMCI in Yogyakarta Province is still required to improve the quality of services provided to sick children
