World Sepsis Day is on the 13th September 2021
World Sepsis Day is a Global Sepsis Alliance initiative that started in 2012 and occurs every year on September 13th with events held all over the world to raise awareness about sepsis.
World Sepsis Day is important because it is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against sepsis.
