What is Sepsis?

  • Sepsis is a global healthcare problem with a high risk of death
  • It impacts an estimated 30 million people per year worldwide
  • It is more common than a heart attack and claims more lives than any cancer
  • It may lead to shock, multiple organ failure, and death, especially if not recognized early and treated promptly
  • Sepsis can be prevented through education and early intervention
