World Sepsis Day - 13 September 2024

Krissy Neighbourly Lead from Tikipunga

World Sepsis Day (www.worldsepsisday.org...) is held on September 13th every year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against sepsis.

Sepsis accounts for at least 11 million deaths worldwide annually. Yet, depending on country and education, sepsis is known only to 7 – 50 % of the people. Likewise, it is poorly known that sepsis can be prevented by vaccination and clean care and that early recognition and treatment reduces sepsis mortality by 50 %. This lack of knowledge makes sepsis the number one preventable cause of death worldwide.
