Of the ten initial teams participating in Pitt's 2023 Global Health Case Competition four teams were invited to participate in the final and will present their proposals in front a panel of judges on November 10, 2:30 PM, 1500 Posvar Hall. After a culmination of five weeks of workshops and equipped with a comprehensive lib guide, teams of students will present their response to the prompt: to develop a comprehensive strategy for controlling Schistosomiasis, providing supportive care for those infected, preventing future infection, and addressing water access and usage in the Dagana department of the Northwestern region of Senegal. The plan should be developed with local community input and designed to be implemented over five years with a budget of $3 million USD total.

We invite the Pitt community to attend their presentations.
