The Global Sepsis Alliance Mourns the Sudden Loss of Dr. Emmanuel Nsutebu

It is with the deepest sadness and sorrow that we inform you of the sudden passing of Dr. Emmanuel Nsutebu, our distinguished colleague and friend.

Emmanuel was a Board Member of the Global Sepsis Alliance,  Founder and Chair of the African Sepsis Alliance, and Chair of Tropical and Infectious Diseases at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City, and, most crucially, a father, husband, and friend.

Emmanuel founded the African Sepsis Alliance in 2016 and has played an instrumental role in its institutional growth ever since.

He was a widely acknowledged health practitioner and global health expert. In recognition of his outstanding knowledge and experience,  Emmanuel Nsutebu has served as an advisor and consultant on infectious diseases and sepsis on Boards and task forces of the World Health Organization, Royal Liverpool Hospital, NHS England, NHS Improvement, and other leading organizations in the field.

Emmanuel Nsutebu has been an unwavering advocate and voice for the most vulnerable children and adults suffering from infectious diseases and sepsis, especially in low-resource settings.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, and colleagues of Emmanuel in mourning our tragic loss.

The Global Sepsis Alliance, the African Sepsis Alliance, and each member of our community will make sure that the legacy and the name of Dr. Emmanuel Nsutebu is remembered in our common fight.
