⚠️ System Migration & Archives Notice

Previously, the Media Kesehatan Journal of Poltekkes Makassar was managed and published via Open Journal Systems (OJS) version 2. However, due to technical issues including a malware attack that compromised the system's security and stability we were compelled to migrate to OJS version 3. As a result, all manuscript handling and publication processes are now conducted through this new platform.

Readers seeking access to back issues from Volume 11, Issue 2 (2016) through Volume 17, Issue 2 (2022) may still retrieve them via our archived site:
