Mission & Goals

The Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) is a non-profit charity organization with the mission to provide global leadership to reduce the worldwide burden of sepsis. Sepsis is the most common cause of death from bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Almost 50 million people are affected each year and around 13 million people die. The GSA is the initiator of World Sepsis Day on September 13 and World Sepsis Congress, a series of free online congresses bringing knowledge about sepsis to all parts of the world, among other initiatives. The GSA works closely with its over 90 member organizations, patient advocacy groups, professional societies, healthcare authorities, and governments to improve sepsis prioritization in health systems, diagnosis, and treatment all around the world, as laid out by the WHA 70.7 Resolution on Sepsis of 2017. In Europe the GSA operates in close collaboration with the European Sepsis Alliance (ESA), the European regional alliance of GSA.
