You all contributed to the inaugural Global Health Competition 2018 being a great success. We would especially like to acknowledge the winners and congratulate them on their award winning solutions:
Solution: "Our group came up with a three-pronged solution that included a preventative, rehabilitative, and re-assimilation measure. In our company, there is a team (including previous opioid addicts) working together toward the goal of each prong. Whether it is going to the hospital and preventing patients from developing an opioid addiction or campaigning to reduce the stigma against opioid addicts, our team works to built a community that is inclusive and helpful in our attempt to battle the opioid crisis."

Solution: "Our goal is to gather and evaluate meta-data on the effectiveness of alternatives to opioids, present this information to insurance companies and medical staff, and thereby enhance the global community’s understanding of how best to diagnose and treat pain on a patient-by-patient basis."
