Abstract (English): This essay reflects on the meaning of the Eduardo Liceaga Medal in light of Mexico’s hygienist and public health tradi- tion. Using Liceaga’s figure as a point of departure, it explores historical parallels in institution building, training of human resources, and the defense of evidence-based policies against classical and emerging health risks, such as air pollution and lead exposure. The text highlights the collective dimension of public health, grounded in the vocation of teachers, colleagues, civil servants, and new generations. Finally, it proposes equity and hope as key axes to confront insufficient investment in prevention and today’s institutional turbulence, while uphold- ing "the ascending spirit of public health" as an ethical and professional horizon.

Abstract (Spanish): Este ensayo reflexiona sobre el significado de la condeco- ración Eduardo Liceaga a partir de la tradición higienista y de salud pública en México. A través de la figura de Liceaga se revisan paralelos históricos en la construcción de insti- tuciones, la formación de recursos humanos y la defensa de políticas basadas en evidencia frente a riesgos sanitarios clásicos y emergentes, como la contaminación atmosférica y la exposición al plomo. El texto subraya la dimensión colec- tiva de la salud pública, anclada en la vocación de servicio de maestros, colegas, servidores públicos y nuevas generaciones. Finalmente, propone la equidad y la esperanza como ejes para afrontar la insuficiente inversión preventiva y la actual vorágine institucional, manteniendo "el espíritu ascendente de la salud pública" como horizonte ético y profesional.
