World Sepsis Day in Pakistan

Abstract

Celebration of World Sepsis Day at a global level started just three years back, and the immense importance
of this celebration was not lost to Pakistan Society of Anaesthesiologists (PSA) and Pakistan Society of
Critical Care Medicine (PSCCM). Both these organizations were quick to grasp the opportunity to use it
to achieve the common goal of enhancing the level of awareness about sepsis and prevention of sepsis
among the healthcare professionals as well as higher authorities. The result was multiple international
academic events being organized regularly across the country as well as the adoption of National Sepsis
Guidelines. The struggle to create more awareness about sepsis continues.
