New -delhi, September 12 (IANS). World Sepsis day is observed every year on September 13. World Sepsis Day was celebrated for the first time in 2012. This day officially recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in 2017 provides a platform to spread awareness about sepsis, promote prevention measures and strengthen health systems. The challenge of sepsis remains a major threat to world health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 49 million people each year are victims of Sepsis, in which 11 million die. This number increased during the Kovid-19 epidemic, when the lack of health facilities made the situation more complicated. Sepsis This is a deadly condition, in which the body’s immune system begins to damage the organs as they fight against infection. From general infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection or skin wounds, it is quickly causing multi-organic failure. Experts believe that ignoring the early symptoms of sepsis, such as high fever, high breath, confusion or low blood pressure, can be deadly. According to the WHO report, more than 80 percent of cases occur in developing countries, where a lack of health services and antibiotic resistance is a major problem. The situation in India is also worrying. According to the national information on health mission, millions of children and adults per sepsis are affected per year, especially in rural areas where there is a lack of hygiene and timely medical treatment. The day began in 2012 with the efforts of Dr. CSTROP VICH (America) and Dr. Karan Singaporewala (UK). He began a global awareness campaign after the death of Dr. Vet’s son of Sepsis. This day, celebrated for the first time in 2012, was promoted by the Global Sepsis Alliance. The United Nations declared it an international day in 2017, making governments, NGOs and health organizations active. This day is celebrated each year with a theme, focusing on ‘fast identification, immediate action’ in 2025. The theme inspires health workers, patients and communities to emphasize early identity. The importance of the World Ssepsis Day is great. It not only spreads awareness, but also encourages policy changes. The WHO Director General, dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreus, said: “Sepsis is preventative, but every hour the death rate slows down by 7.6 percent.” Webinars, seminars, rally and social media campaigns will be offered worldwide on this day. European Sepsis Alliance in Europe has launched training programs at hospitals, while Unicef ​​in Africa is focused on health fellows. The Ministry of Health in India has launched the national sepsis awareness campaign for 2025. Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi and the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai erected a special camp, where patients were advised to screen and prevention. Prevention measures are simple, but effective, including maintaining hygiene, vaccinated, timely treatment of wounds and the doctor contact once the infection is indicated. It is also necessary to stop the abuse of antibiotics as it produces super bugs. Experts believe that Sepsis is 11 percent of the mother’s death and 21 percent of newborn death. In countries such as India, where infectious diseases are still prominent, this day offers the opportunity to increase the health budget and strengthen primary health centers. World Sepsis Day reminds us that a small infection can become a great tragedy. Since 2012, it has contributed to saving millions of lives. -Ians Sch/DKP
