Sepsis Prevention

Sepsis does not appear out of nowhere. It begins with an infection — a urinary tract infection, a respiratory illness, a skin wound, a surgical site. Many of these infections are preventable. By reducing the incidence of infection, we reduce the incidence of sepsis.

AFADDUSA advocates for a comprehensive prevention approach that spans personal hygiene, vaccination, wound care, chronic disease management, and infection control in healthcare settings. Prevention is not a single action — it is a culture of care.

People at higher risk of sepsis — the elderly, the very young, pregnant women, and those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, cancer, or kidney disease — require targeted prevention support. AFADDUSA works to ensure these communities have access to the resources and knowledge they need to stay safe.
