"The lack of knowledge and awareness about sepsis is literally costing lives," states Ilse Malfait, a sepsis survivor. "The results of the 2024 survey should be a wake-up call for all healthcare stakeholders!" Unknown and therefore underestimated? The fact is, 2 out of 3 Belgians have never heard of #sepsis. This was revealed in a survey of more than 2,000 citizens. ⏳ What you don't know, you can't recognise and treat in time. And reacting quickly is crucial when it comes to sepsis... Ilse, who is also the spokesperson for Sepsibel, chose the title for her book with good reason: "Every Hour Counts". 🙏 On #WorldSepsisDay, she repeats her message: we must raise more awareness about sepsis, among both the public and healthcare providers. Let's continue working together to strengthen our efforts in prevention, early diagnosis, detection, and treatment. Because when it comes to sepsis, every hour counts. #sepsisawareness #sepsisawarenessmonth #stopsepsissavelives European Sepsis Alliance Sciensano
