DESCRIPTION:

Drowning is a significant global public health issue, causing approximately 236,000 deaths annually. It is one of the primary causes of accidental death, particularly for individuals aged 1-24 years, and constitutes 7% of all injury-related deaths. Drowning affects all regions and economies, but over 90% of incidents occur in low and middle-income countries, with over half of global drownings happening in the WHO Western Pacific Region and WHO South-East Asia Region.

In response to this issue, the General Assembly declared World Drowning Prevention Day, which takes place annually on July 25th. This day is meant to raise awareness about the devastating impact of drowning and promote proven preventative measures. Some of these measures include installing barriers to limit access to water, creating safe areas away from water, teaching water safety and swimming skills, training in safe rescue and resuscitation techniques, enforcing safe boating regulations, and improving flood risk management.

The UN General Assembly invited the World Health Organization (WHO) to coordinate drowning prevention efforts within the UN system. As part of this role, WHO produces advocacy materials, organizes a global launch event, and supports national and local activities in countries worldwide.
