Each year, sepsis kills more than 1 million newborns globally. Many factors contribute to the high number of neonatal deaths from infection, including under-recognition of illness, delay in care seeking by the family, and lack of access to quality health care services.

On 12 September 2017, the third session of the WSC Spotlight: Maternal and Neonatal Sepsis focused specifically on neonatal sepsis, including sociocultural issues, the burden of the disease and best practice for prevention and treatment.

We are pleased to share the full video for the WSC Spotlight session on neonatal sepsis here.

Every pregnant (or recently pregnant) woman is at risk of an infection that could trigger sepsis, a leading cause of death for women. WHO has developed a standardised definition of maternal and neonatal sepsis to bring it in line with the current understanding of sepsis in the adult population: “maternal sepsis is a life-threatening condition defined as organ dysfunction resulting from infection during pregnancy, childbirth, post-abortion, or postpartum period”.

On 12 September 2017, the second session of the WSC Spotlight: Maternal and Neonatal Sepsis focused specifically on the new WHO definition of maternal sepsis and current research, knowledge and initiatives to better understand maternal sepsis and how to best suspect, treat and prevent it.
