World Sepsis Day

The Global Sepsis Alliance is proud to announce the global theme for the 2026 World Sepsis Day: “Invest in Sepsis – Save Lives.”

Alongside the new theme, we are launching the 2026 World Sepsis Day Policy and Media Brief, setting out the case for urgent investment in Sepsis prevention, early detection, health workers, health systems, innovation, people, and preparedness.

“Since 2012, World Sepsis Day has united the global Sepsis community around one goal: ending preventable deaths and disabilities from Sepsis. In 2026, our message is clear – commitments must translate into investment and implementation, especially in resource-limited settings bearing the greatest burden. Investing in Sepsis means investing in the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, since progress in maternal and child health, Universal Health Coverage, and other global health priorities require stronger Sepsis response.”
