    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2017) Kissoon, Niranjan; Reinhart, Konrad; Daniels, Ron; Machado, Machado Flavia R. [UNIFESP]; Schachter, Raymond D.; Finfer, Simon
    Background: Sepsis, worldwide the leading cause of death in children, has now been recognized as the global health emergency it is. On May 26, 2017, the World Health Assembly, the decision-making body of the World Health Organization, adopted a resolution proposed by the Global Sepsis Alliance to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and management of sepsis. Objective: To discuss the implications of this resolution for children worldwide. Conclusions: The resolution highlights sepsis as a global threat and urges the 194 United Nations member states to take specific actions and implement appropriate measures to reduce its human and health economic burden. The resolution is a major step toward achieving the targets outlined by the Sustainable Developmental Goals for decreasing mortality in infants and children, but implementing it will require a concerted global effort.
