Our Speaker: Dr. Yub Raj Sedhai
Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection which can lead to tissue damage,
organ failure, amputations and death. It is a life-threatening medical emergency.
Sepsis happens when an infection you already have —in your skin, lungs, urinary tract, or
somewhere else—triggers a chain reaction throughout your body.
Without timely treatment, sepsis can rapidly lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death.
Attend this month’s CORE program to learn:
• Who gets sepsis?
• What are the symptoms?
• What causes sepsis?
• Who is at risk?
• How can sepsis be prevented?
