Pune: Ruby Hall Clinic Marks World Sepsis Day with Academic Session and Community Awareness Programs
Pune, 13th September 2025 – Ruby Hall Clinic successfully commemorated World Sepsis Day on September 12th with a series of academic, awareness, and outreach initiatives aimed at strengthening early recognition and management of sepsis. The day-long program brought together doctors, healthcare professionals, patients, and the community in a collective effort to combat this silent killer.
The occasion was graced by Dr. Simon Grant, Physician and Trustee, Mr. Urvkash Bhote, COO, and Dr. Tanima Baronia, Deputy Director – ICU and Consultant Anesthesiologist, Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, who joined hospital leadership and staff in reaffirming Ruby Hall’s commitment to advancing sepsis awareness and care.
The highlight of the event was an academic CME session for doctors and healthcare professionals, focusing on the latest updates, evidence-based practices, and strategies for timely intervention in sepsis care. This was complemented by the Sepsis Awareness Pledge & Wall of Commitment, inaugurated by hospital leadership, where consultants, doctors, and staff members signed their pledge to fight sepsis, symbolizing their unified responsibility in tackling this life-threatening condition.
To further strengthen public engagement, interactive information and awareness stalls were set up in the hospital lobby, distributing educational pamphlets and resources to patients, families, and visitors. The ICU team also extended its efforts to the community by conducting outreach programs, sharing practical information about sepsis prevention, early recognition, and the importance of seeking timely medical help.
Speaking about the initiative, Dr. Prachee Sathe, Director – Critical Care Medicine at Ruby Hall Clinic, said:
“Sepsis continues to be one of the leading causes of preventable deaths worldwide, yet awareness remains alarmingly low. Through initiatives like these, we aim to bridge the knowledge gap, empower both healthcare professionals and the public, and most importantly, save lives through early recognition and swift treatment.”
Dr. Purvez Grant, Chief Cardiologist, Chairman and Managing Trustee of Ruby Hall Clinic, added:
“At Ruby Hall Clinic, we believe that combating sepsis requires a multi-pronged approach—clinical excellence, continuous education, and community involvement. Our commitment does not end with this day; it continues every day in the way we train our teams, engage with patients, and extend awareness into society. Together, we can and must reduce the burden of sepsis.”
Through this comprehensive program, Ruby Hall Clinic reaffirmed its commitment to advancing sepsis care and ensuring that both medical professionals and the wider community are equipped to recognize and act against this critical health threat.
