GSA Formalizes Strategic Partnership with the Infectious Disease Alliance

GSA CEO, Dr. Mariam jashi, and IDA Executive Director, Rodrigo Scotini

The Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) is proud to announce a new Memorandum of Understanding with the Infectious Disease Alliance (IDA), formalizing a partnership built on a shared conviction: sepsis cannot be tackled in isolation from the broader fight against infectious diseases.

Under the agreement, GSA and IDA become full members of one another's networks, opening the door to joint committees, working groups, and campaigns. GSA also joins IDA's Primary Healthcare Coalition and Global Health Finance Coalition, reflecting the understanding that integrated care and sustainable financing must go hand in hand. Together, the two alliances will align policy priorities, coordinate advocacy, co-host events from the World Health Assembly to the World Health Summit, and develop joint fundraising and communications initiatives.

At its heart, this partnership is about recognizing sepsis as a marker of quality of care and a central thread running through infectious disease response, AMR, and pandemic preparedness. By working as one, GSA and IDA aim to ensure sepsis advocacy is fully embedded within the wider infection management agenda, rather than treated as a parallel conversation.

We are deeply grateful to IDA Executive Director Rodrigo Scotini for his leadership and vision. This MoU marks the beginning of a shared journey. The recent appointment of Simone Mancini, GSA Partnership Lead and Director of the European Sepsis Alliance, as a member of the IDA Board of Directors, confirms the common will of the two organizations to work together towards a shared vision.
