Together we can make a difference.
There’s a lack of sepsis research, awareness and advocacy in New Zealand often leaving sepsis patients and survivors with no natural advocate in the healthcare system.
Me pātai noa - ko te mate whakatāoke rānei tēnei?
Just ask – could it be sepsis?
It’s hard to describe and it’s not easy to detect but it is killing our whānau. Sepsis is a life-threatening complication of infection that needs urgent treatment.
Terms you may recognise to describe sepsis include blood poisoning / toto pirau and septicaemia, but whatever you call it, early recognition and treatment will save a life.
