Analysis was done by using SPSS version 20. Data are presenter as frequencies and percentages using figures and tables. P value less than 0.05 considered significant Mann Whitney U test use to compare level of knowledge adherence between trained participants and non-trained participants.Results: The mean knowledge score about sepsis diagnosis was 2.6 out of 10 (SD= 1.8), and about sepsis management was 2.8 out of 8 (SD=1.8) the mean overall score was 5.5 out of 18.No significant difference found between participants who were trained upon diagnosis and management of sepsis and those who were not.Conclusion: Study findings illustrated that the capacity to perceive and manage sepsis among House Officers and Medical Officers doctors is poor and there are dangerous gaps in their investigation and management of such septic patients.
