Sepsis arises when the body’s response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs. It may lead to shock, multi-organ failure, and death - especially if not recognized early and treated promptly. Sepsis is the final common pathway to death from most infectious diseases worldwide.

Sepsis is an emergency, striking about 30 million people every year, killing 6 to 9 million of them. Learn what sepsis is, and how to identify and treat it in this 3-min video. Please share with your loved ones - it could save their lives!
