5th WSC Final Report: Statistics and Numbers from the 5th World Sepsis Congress

The Global Sepsis Alliance – on behalf of Prof. Tex Kissoon and Dr. Mariam Jashi as Co-chairs of the 5th World Sepsis Congress Scientific Committee – is delighted to publish the final report of our annual flagship event.

A total of 11,945 people from 174 countries registered for this World Sepsis Congress, with 67% of participants joining from low- and middle-income countries. This underscores a critical truth: sepsis is a global health threat that knows no borders and is not confined by the strength of a country’s healthcare system. It perfectly reflects our mission – to share knowledge about sepsis with every corner of the world.

We’re deeply grateful for your participation – it was truly a pleasure to have you with us.

Your feedback has been especially meaningful to us. Hearing how much you valued the congress is both encouraging and inspiring. You can explore the full report using the gallery above or download it as a PDF below. Please feel free to share it with colleagues, friends, and family.

Finally, we want to seize the opportunity to thank all members of the Scientific Committee for their invaluable contributions to the development of this robust scientific program. We also want to thank sepsis survivors and families for their input and participation in the impactful panel discussion, and Marvin Zick for the outstanding management of the event and elaboration of this report.

Lastly, let this serve as a reminder that all 15 sessions of the congress are available to rewatch on our YouTube channel or listen to as a podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

World Sepsis Congress will return in April 2026.
