    AbstractThe worldwide burden of sepsis is high and is increasing. Therefore, this ailment needs a strong lobby, independent of interests generated by pharmaceutical companies. Current evidence-based knowledge must be applied worldwide to reduce the high mortality rate of sepsis. The Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) was inaugurated in September of 2010 and now represents more than 600,000 health care professionals from more than 70 countries. The GSA was founded to focus on programs to better understand that sepsis is an emergency and to foster a greater understanding of the medical burden of sepsis among the public, with policy makers, philanthropists, and health care professionals. All concerned groups and societies are encouraged to learn from each other and to join forces in the fight against sepsis at a global level. More information is available on the GSA Web site at www.globalsepsisalliance.com.
