GSA President Tex Kissoon Joins InFACT/ISARIC/CIIC-HIN Colloquium in Kigali

On October 7, 2025, Dr. Niranjan “Tex” Kissoon, President of the Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA), took part in the InFACT/ISARIC/CIIC-HIN Colloquium on Building Global Acute Care Research Capacity, held in Kigali, Rwanda.

Dr. Kissoon was one of the panelists in the session “Perspectives: Funders, Policymakers, and Stakeholders,” which explored how a broad range of stakeholders can help refine and realize the goal of an “always on, always active intelligent health care system”, one in which clinical care is continuously informed by integrated research.

The discussion, co-moderated by Dr. John Marshall (InFACT) and Dr. Niamh Mahon, addressed themes such as how global research networks can contribute to resilient health systems, new models of funding and collaboration, and how to ensure that patients’ and families’ voices are heard in shaping research priorities.

Dr. Kissoon joined global leaders discussing strategies to strengthen research collaboration and health system preparedness.
