Summary

This study is an anonymous online survey that tests healthcare workers' knowledge of sepsis across seven sub-Saharan African countries. Around 300 doctors, nurses, and trainees will answer questions to measure their understanding. The survey will be repeated every 12-24 months to track changes after training programs.

What this could mean

What this could lead to: If successful, this survey could reveal where healthcare workers need more training, potentially improving sepsis diagnosis and treatment in Africa.
What could go wrong: This is an observational survey, not a treatment trial. It measures knowledge only and does not directly improve patient outcomes.
