Dear Colleagues,Thinking over public health, we believe there are many ways to determine it. For instance, a majority perspective can be underpinned by two keywords: science and art, by its approach to health in the community. Therefore, we would like to invite all of you, each of our colleagues, to recall the “true color” of public health scholars in the present issue of Kesmas. In Volume 18, Issue 4, November 2023, the last issue of the year, Kesmas emphasizes current substantial topics that apply as public health implications as approaches and interventions to mitigate global issues, particularly in developing and low-resource-setting countries.
