Niranjan 'Tex' Kissoon Elected New President of the Global Sepsis Alliance
On November 10th, 2020, the Board of the Global Sepsis Alliance elected Niranjan ‘Tex’ Kissoon as the new President of the Global Sepsis Alliance. Tex succeeds Konrad Reinhart, who co-founded and successfully led the GSA since its inception in 2010. Although Konrad stepped down as President earlier this month, he will remain on the GSA Executive Committee.
Tex is the Executive Medical Director of Children’s and Women’s Global Health at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, Canada, and Professor at the University of British Columbia. He has an extensive background in pediatrics, emergency medicine, and critical care. He has been serving as Vice President of the Global Sepsis Alliance previously and has been an important pillar of the GSA from the very beginning.
“I am grateful for your support and confidence in me to lead the GSA. There is much to be done. I look forward to the challenges but success depends on all of us. I am excited to harness our collective talent and energies to continue to fight against sepsis. A world free of sepsis is worth the effort.”
The team here at the GSA HQ wishes to congratulate Tex and is thrilled to continue to be working with him. Here’s to changing the world for the better.
