We are very pleased to share the excellent news about the collaboration framework that we have established between the Foundation for the Progress of Education and Health (FPES) and the Society of Intensive Medicine of the Community of Madrid (SOMIAMA), joining forces in the specialized training to combat sepsis.

We are proud to announce the launch of a high-quality, university-accredited postgraduate course, which has been the result of the collaborative effort of numerous highly qualified professionals. Therefore, we would like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join our new postgraduate course in collaboration with UDIMA University: "Specialist Course in Diagnosis, Stratification and Treatment of Sepsis". The program has been developed within the framework of the portal's training initiatives sepsis-one.org

Dear friends,

Last Saturday, Mr. Juan Manuel de la Maza, who held the position of State Attorney General, passed away in Argentina, a judicial responsibility of great importance in the moments in which we live.

Apparently during his professional visit "he felt unwell" which is why he was placed in the hands of medical professionals in Buenos Aires, who made the decision to admit him with a diagnosis of urinary infection, with a previous history of diabetes.

As has been published, the process evolved unfavorably until it triggered sepsis, and later SEPTIC SHOCK, which caused the fatal outcome.

Every human life is precious and irreplaceable, and its loss is equally painful regardless of the person's media relevance. Logically, the greater the media relevance, the greater the impact on society, since the media act as a sounding board in these cases for the good and for the less good.

It is not appropriate to question his personal or clinical circumstances, or the quality of the health care received, which we assume is the best he could have had access to.
