The first issue of Volume 16 of the Journal of Health and Development (JKP) is now safely in the hands of its readers. JKP continues to encourage lecturers and other authors outside the Mitra Adiguna Palembang Health College to produce their best work through scientific articles. This first issue, Volume 16, covers various disciplines such as issues related to aging, reproductive health, maternal health, health examination analysis, child health, family nursing, adult health, health management, health counseling, postpartum issues, and psychiatric nursing, with authors from both internal and external institutions. We hope this first edition of JKP will serve as a valuable reading resource for all Mitra Adiguna Health College students.
