It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, with six semi-autonomous regional offices and 150 field offices worldwide.
	International Sepsis Forum The International Sepsis Forum (ISF) is an international collaboration created to reduce the global burden of sepsis. Headed by a Council of international experts and opinion leaders, the ISF is focused exclusively on improving the management of sepsis and, in particular, septic shock by developing an international consensus on the latest understanding of key scientific and clinical issues, and disseminating emerging practice guidelines to researchers, intensivists, and other critical care professionals worldwide.
