U.S. Congress Allocates $5 Million to CDC to Expand Sepsis Programs

We are excited to share a significant advance in the fight against sepsis in the United States: the newly signed Congressional budget includes $5 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to expand its sepsis programs, a $2 million increase over last year’s funding.

World Sepsis Day congratulates Ciaran Staunton, Orlaith Staunton, and the END SEPSIS team on this important milestone, which builds on sustained progress over recent years to secure dedicated federal support for sepsis.

END SEPSIS also reports growing momentum on the policy front, with bipartisan sepsis legislation introduced in both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.

Staunton highlighted Senator Schumer’s role in helping to secure the additional funding.
