A global awareness campaign dedicated to increasing public and professional understanding of sepsis, a life-threatening medical emergency caused by the body's extreme response to infection. Coordinated by the Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) and supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) and international partners, the campaign promotes infection prevention, early recognition of sepsis, prompt treatment, improved quality of care, and stronger health systems to reduce preventable deaths and disability.
The 2026 theme focuses on investing in infection prevention, early recognition, timely and quality sepsis care, healthcare professionals, research and innovation, and stronger health systems to reduce preventable deaths and long-term disability from sepsis.
