The Sepsis-Stiftung is hosting a Media & Policy Briefing on “Sepsis und Infektionsmanagement in Deutschland” on Thursday, September 3, 2026. The event will bring together experts, healthcare professionals, patient representatives, policymakers, and the media to discuss how knowledge about sepsis can be translated into concrete action and improved sepsis care in Germany.
The Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) and European Sepsis Alliance (ESA) have endorsed the event and are supporting it both ideationally and technically. The program will address the burden of sepsis, opportunities to improve prevention, early recognition, and treatment, lessons from regional initiatives and international experience, and the case for a National Infection Management Strategy with a National Sepsis Plan as a central component.
