Mission, Vision & Values

Together against neonatal sepsis — advancing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sepsis in newborns worldwide.

A world where no newborn dies or is harmed from preventable sepsis

The Newborn Sepsis Society envisions a future in which every newborn, regardless of where they are born, is protected from the devastating impact of sepsis. We believe that with the right knowledge, tools, and collective will, preventable neonatal deaths and lifelong harm caused by sepsis can be eliminated.

To improve outcomes for newborns worldwide

We exist to improve outcomes for newborns worldwide by advancing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neonatal sepsis. We bring together clinicians, researchers, and partner organisations across disciplines and borders to translate scientific progress into better care at the bedside.

What guides our work
