What is the purpose and structure of Session 8 on infection prevention and control?
Welcome back to the Fifth World Sepsis Congress. This is session 8 titled Infection Prevention and Control in Community and Healthcare Statics. A key topic in reducing the global burden of sepsis. With insights from leading experts around the globe, today's session is moderated by Maha Al-Jwaid. Let's dive right in.
Hello everyone. Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening. Depends on your time zone. My name is Mahal Jaid. I'm a part of Eastern Mediterranean Global SIPSIS Alliance from Saudi Arabia. It's my pleasure to chair this session for day two from the fifth World SIPSIS Congress. In this session, we'll talk about infection prevention in clinical settings and community settings. Uh thank you for our uh speaker, for our sponsors, as well as For our attendees. Please let me introduce our first speaker, Sir Jeremy Virar. Professor Virar, he is the chief scientist at WHO. With uh great contributions uh to the medical literature, he is a clinical researcher in immunology and also he's uh a chief scientist at Wilcome Trust.
Uh he is uh a a known global leader in healthcare and was awarded several awards, including the hundred most influential healthcare leaders. It's my pleasure to introduce uh Prof. Ferrar to talk about the substance challenges with a very global health agenda. Uh the floor is yours.
That's great. Thanks very much indeed um for the very kind introduction. And it's a great pleasure to join the uh Fifth World uh Sepsis Congress. And I'm really delighted because I'm also joined by Dr. Benedetta here, who is um also a colleague from WHO, a wonderful colleague from WHO, who sadly has left Geneva now and is based in the uh WHO MREO office. And Benedetto, we miss you very much and um good luck with the new new work. So uh where to start? Um uh firstly uh the world looks incredibly discombobulated at the moment. Um we are going through a a period of really I think profound uh disruption. Challenging many of our assumptions about many, many different aspects across the whole of society, but of course, health.
both national, regional, and global health is caught up in that period of of disruption. And I think we we need to just at some point pause as as clinicians, as scientists, as international agencies such as WHO, um and just pause and reflect what does this period mean for us, whatever our field of endeavor here, sepsis, infection control. but across the whole range of work from pandemics to non non communable diseases, uh to the very foundation of science in health. And I think it's very important for all of us, w whatever role we play. to to accept that we're in that period of disruption, but then also try and find time to think how we can help navigate our organisations, our patients, our communities through this.
Because uh it's challenging all of us in different ways. And it's in challenging times that leadership really matters. And all of us on this call in the world sepsis congress community, um, all of us have some degree of authority, of power, of agency, speaking for our communities, speaking for our patients, speaking for our countries and agencies. And uh it's very important we use those voices at the moment to to to try and think through the period. kind of disruption um to something that's uh a better world at the end of it. At the same time as all of those challenges, of course, we also face huge global challenges, whether antimicrobial resistance, increasing nationalism, and a retreat from a sense that we're all in this together, whether it's in climate or antimicrobial resistance or pandemics.
But equally, and I refuse to be pessimistic, we are also in a golden age of science. We really are in a golden age of science. result of many countries around the world Investing in discovery and basic science over 10, 20, 30 years. And those, the fruits of that, are now coming into clinical and public health practice in ways that at the start of my career would would be unimaginable. And of course, people often go back to COVID and talk about how we developed mRNA vaccines in a year during 2020 for COVID.
