Madrid, Tuesday June 20, 2017. The SEPSIS is a critical ailment which occurs when the body, in response to an infection, generates an inflammatory response that, in the most severe cases, causes acute failure of other organs that were not necessarily related to the original infection, causing shock or multi-organ failure that, in a significant number of cases, it causes death.

Due to the high morbidity and mortality due to sepsis, through the resolution approved at the World Health Assembly held last month in Geneva, it is indicated to WHO should help countries develop the infrastructure, laboratory capacity, strategies and tools necessary to reduce the burden of sepsis. And to work with partners to help developing countries gain access to safe, effective and affordable treatments and quality tools for infection prevention and control, including immunization.
