A New Society Dedicated to Fighting Newborn Sepsis

Neonatal sepsis remains one of the leading causes of death and harm in newborns worldwide, and it disproportionately affects babies in low- and middle-income settings.

This week at the PAS 2026 conference, a new global initiative took its first formal step: the Newborn Sepsis Society held its founding meeting.

The Society brings together clinicians, researchers, and partner organizations across disciplines and borders, with a shared mission: to improve outcomes for newborns worldwide by advancing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neonatal sepsis. They explicitly prioritize representation from diverse regions, especially where the burden of neonatal sepsis is greatest.

And as 99nicu, we are excited to see this initiative take off, and keeping our fingers crossed for the growth and good ideas to come. And being the grassroot community we are, we are always open for sepsis discussions- so bring them on!
