#WorldSepsisDay is a reminder of the terrible toll that #sepsis takes around the world. @WHO is supporting countries to reduce the burden of sepsis with proven tools that can save lives, regardless of income level. These tools serve to: Prevent bloodstream infections and treat sepsis; Strengthen emergency and critical care; Improve infection prevention and control, especially in health facilities.

"WHO congratulates the @GlobalSepsis Alliance on the launch of the 2030 Global Agenda for Sepsis. This will be a valuable tool in our shared work to prevent the suffering caused by #sepsis, which kills 11 million people every year, including children, older people and other vulnerable groups, particularly in low-income countries"--@DrTedros

If you have suffered from #COVID19 and are still feeling the symptoms, could it be #LongCOVID? What are the symptoms? Are treatments available? WHO’s Dr Jamie Rylance explains in Science in 5 πŸ‘‡

Few days ago ASA Executive Board member @HSalisukabara visited the Berlin office of the @GlobalSepsis Alliance. A strong international collaboration is key to improve sepsis awareness and quality of care. Grateful for the GSA support.
It was a pleasure to welcome @HSalisukabara, Vice ED of the @AfricanSepsis, to @GlobalSepsis HQ. It's great to meet those who are working on the front line with our common goal of #fightingsepsis. We discussed ongoing activities & the future vision of how to strengthen the #sepsisresponse in African regions.
