Global Webinar for Journalists: Saving Millions of Lives from Sepsis

The Global Sepsis Alliance, the Sepsis Stiftung, in coordination with the Global Sepsis Survivor and Family Committee (GSSFC) are delighted to invite journalists to a global webinar on September 5, at 2pm CEST. The webinar will be held on Zoom. Check the links below to register, and consult the programme and the media and policy brief “5 Facts for 5 Actions”. The webinar is aimed at media, but open to everyone.

Questions That Could Save Millions of Lives

  • Why is Sepsis causing 20% of all deaths worldwide, still largely invisible in public policies and media coverage?

  • How can the media help save millions of children, women, and men from Sepsis?

  • How can we jointly hold health leaders and policymakers accountable for action on Sepsis?

  • How can journalists turn Sepsis into a household term like cancer, stroke, or heart attack?

To explore these urgent questions and strengthen Sepsis visibility in the media ahead of World Sepsis Day 2025 (September 13), the Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) and the Sepsis Stiftung, in coordination with the Global Sepsis Survivor and Family Committee (GSSFC), are convening a Global Webinar for Journalists on September 5.

 This 60-minute webinar will equip media professionals and Sepsis advocates with data, stories, and practical tools to raise awareness and inspire global action against one of the world’s deadliest yet most overlooked health emergencies.
