13.7 million people died from #Sepsis in 2019 #globally with #SubSaharanAfrica bearing the greatest burden of sepsis #worldwide having suffered 30% of these deaths. Time to ACT! #RHISSA #SepsisAwareness Ministry of Health- Uganda Walimu LSTM STAIRS-Sepsis African Sepsis Alliance (ASA)

And that's a wrap! STAIRS-Sepsis completed its 1st annual meeting in #AddisAbaba impeccably hosted by the ArsiUniversity Team and enjoyed by all. We worked hard, played hard and even met a celebrity (Haile Gebrselassie)! African Sepsis Alliance (ASA) Africa CDC #sepsis #KeepClimbing

What a great week learning from AFIDEP about optimising #sepsis policy exchange through evidence-informed decision making (EIDM) with the Walimu-led team in #Uganda! This year, EIDM training will be conducted across STAIRS-Sepsis to maximise the network's research impact.

Exciting to see the Instituto Nacional de Saúde – INS team in #Mozambique undergoing the evidence-informed decision making (#EIDM) training last week with AFIDEP. This training will help to ensure optimal policy exchange and research transfer of evidence generated by future STAIRS-Sepsis studies.

Excited to be recognized by Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership (GARDP) as a potential partner for innovative research in the fight against antimicrobial resistance! STAIRS is addressing sepsis and synergizing with AMR research in Sub- Saharan Africa. Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership (GARDP) at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin

What a team!! Last week’s STAIRS Telemedicine workshop at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin was a big success thanks to our champions from Ghana and Ethiopia, and invaluable support from The African Federation for Emergency Medicine‘s leadership!

Last week, the STAIRS-Sepsis team in #SierraLeone underwent the evidence-informed decision making (#EIDM) training facilitated by AFIDEP and hosted by Njala University to maximize key stakeholder engagement on advancements expected in #sepsis research over the coming years.

Another STAIRS-Sepsis team underwent the evidence-informed decision-making (#EIDM) training by AFIDEP last week. The University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) team acquired skills on evidence synthesis and stakeholder engagement to optimize the translation of our research outputs to policy in #Nigeria.

Another partner from STAIRS-Sepsis has undergone the #EIDM training facilitated by AFIDEP. This time the ArsiUniversity team brought together a group of 19 stakeholders to strengthen capacity for translating #sepsis research findings to policy in #Ethiopia.
